Calories: 794kcal
Ingredients
- 3 cups 100% Apple Juice unsweetened
- 1¾ oz Fruit Pectin
- 4½ cups Sugar
Instructions
Preparing Water Bath Canner
- Fill the canner pot with enough water to cover each jar approximately two inches.
- Bring water to a boil.
- Wash the pint jars and lids.
- Place the jars and lids into the boiling water to sterilize.
Preparing Jelly
- In a stockpot, mix the fruit juice and the pectin.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Stir constantly.
- Once the mixture begins to boil, add the sugar to the mix.
- While stiffing continuously, bring the mixture back to a rolling boil.
- Boil for one minute.
- Remove from heat,
- Using a metal spoon, remove the foam from the surface of the mixture.
Filling Jars and Processing
- Remove the jars and lids from the Water Bath Canner. The water will evaporate quickly.
- Working one jar at a time, fill each jar with the jelly mixture, leaving ¼ inch of headspace. Wipe the rim of the jar with a damp paper towel or cloth to remove any jelly mixture that may interfere with the seal. Place a lid on the jar and secure it in place with a band. Don't over-tighten the band. Hand tight is all that is needed. Place the filled jar into the rack of the Water Bath Canner.
- Repeat until each jar has been filled.
- Lower the jars into the boiling water. Ensure that approximately two inches of water is over the top of each jar. If needed, add hot water.
- Once the water begins to boil again, process the jelly jars for 10 minutes.
- Remove the jars and place them on a cooking rack. Allow them to stand for one hour before handling them. The jelly jars will be completely cooled in approximately 24 hours.
- Store in a cool, dry place for up to a year.
