APPLE JELLY (FROM JUICE)
My husband loves apple-cinnamon jelly and we just could not find anything he liked at the big box grocer, so I came up with this. I have to say that the applesauce bonus is one of the great things about this recipe. It's great!

Steps:
- Core apples but leave on peel.
- Pour apple juice and concentrate into a large, heavy pot. Add apples, 4 cinnamon sticks, and ground cinnamon. Bring to a boil and cook until apples are soft, about 15 minutes.
- Remove apples with a slotted spoon and place in a food processor. Pulse until no longer chunky, then put back into the pot and cook for another 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, inspect five pint-sized jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jelly is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
- Use a fine mesh strainer to strain out apples, and place applesauce in a container and refrigerate to eat later. Strain juice again using many layers of cheesecloth. Pour the liquid back into the pot with the cinnamon sticks.
- Add sugar and pectin and bring to a rolling boil, adding butter just before it boils to keep it from foaming.
- Ladle into the prepared jars, adding a fresh cinnamon stick to each jar if desired. Place the seals and lids on the jars, making sure to clean the rims of any syrup that may have gotten on the mouths of the jars.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 20 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place them upside down on a towel for 45 minutes to help the lids to seal. Turn jars over and let rest for 12 to 24 hours.

Steps:
- Place apples in a large pot; cover with water. Bring to a boil; reduce heat, cover, and simmer until apples are slightly tender, about 5 minutes. Crush cooked apples and simmer for 5 more minutes.
- Transfer crushed apples to a sieve or cheesecloth. Let drip into a bowl until all liquid has drained, pressing gently to release all the juice. Measure 5 cups apple juice, adding water if necessary to have exact amount. Stir sugar into juice; add butter to reduce foaming.
- Bring juice mixture to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin; boil for exactly 1 minute to dissolve pectin, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off excess foam with a metal spoon.
- Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Ladle apple jam into the hot, sterilized jars, filling the jars to within 1/8 inch of the top. Run a knife or a thin spatula around the insides of the jars after they have been filled to remove any air bubbles. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids, and screw on rings.
- Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars into the boiling water using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to bring the water level to at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 5 minutes.
- Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Once cool, press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours. Store in a cool, dark area. Refrigerate opened jellies for up to 3 weeks.

Tips:
- Use a slow cooker. This is the easiest way to make apple jelly, and it doesn't require any special equipment.
- Choose the right apples. The best apples for jelly are those that are high in pectin, such as Granny Smith, Macintosh, and Honeycrisp.
- Prepare the apples properly. Wash the apples well, remove the cores, and cut them into small pieces.
- Use a good quality frozen apple juice concentrate. This will ensure that your jelly has a good flavor.
- Don't overcook the jelly. Overcooked jelly will be tough and chewy.
- Test the jelly for doneness before removing it from the heat. The jelly is done when it has reached a temperature of 220 degrees Fahrenheit (105 degrees Celsius) or when a spoonful of jelly dropped onto a cold plate wrinkles when pushed with your finger.
Conclusion:
Apple jelly is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It can be spread on toast, used as a filling for pies and pastries, or added to yogurt or ice cream. Apple jelly is also a good source of pectin, which is a soluble fiber that can help to lower cholesterol and improve digestion. So, next time you're looking for a sweet and tangy treat, give apple jelly a try!
