Apple Juice Jelly
4 cups unsweetened apple juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 3/4 ounce package of powdered fruit pectin
4 1/2 cups sugar
Pour the fruit juice and lemon juice into a 8 or 10 quart kettle.
Sprinkle with pectin. Let stand one or two minutes; stir to
dissolve.
Bring to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat; stir frequently.
Stir in the sugar. Return to a full rolling boil; stir often. Boil
hard for one minute, stirring constantly.
Remove from the heat; quickly skim off the foam with a metal spoon.
Ladle into hot, sterilized half pint jars, leaving a 1/4 inch of
headspace. Adjust the lids.
Turn over for five minutes, so the lids get hot and put back
upright. You'll hear the lids popping after a while.
Makes 6 half pint jars. |
