Apple Pie Jelly
There’s something incredibly satisfying about making jelly from scratch. This recipe allows you to enjoy the flavors of a classic dessert in a new form. Each jar of Apple Pie Jelly will remind you of the warmth and comfort of home-baked apple pie. Here’s how to make it!
Ingredients:
- 4 cups apple juice
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup apple cider
- 1 package (1.75 oz) fruit pectin (like Sure-Jell)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
Instructions:
- Start by sterilizing your canning jars and lids. You can do this by boiling them in water for about 10 minutes.
- In a large saucepan, combine the apple juice, apple cider, and lemon juice. Stir in the sugar, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice.
- Over medium heat, bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves.
- Once boiling, stir in the fruit pectin. Return to a boil and boil for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and skim any foam from the surface if necessary.
- Carefully ladle the hot jelly into the prepared sterilized jars, leaving a little space at the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean cloth to ensure a good seal.
- Place the lids on the jars and screw on the metal bands until they are fingertip tight.
- Process the jars in a boiling water bath for about 10 minutes to seal them. After processing, remove them and let them cool completely on a clean towel or cooling rack.
- Once cooled, check the seals on all jars. They should be indented. If any haven’t sealed properly, refrigerate those jars and use them first.
There you have it! A beautiful batch of Apple Pie Jelly that captures all the flavors of your favorite pie. Enjoy it as part of your breakfast, or give it as a sweet homemade gift. Either way, it’s sure to impress!
