Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 c apple juice
1/2 c red-hot candies
1 pkg powdered fruit pectin (1 3/4 oz pkg)
4 1/2 c sugar

Steps:

  • 1. In a large kettle or Dutch oven, combine apple juice, candies and pectin. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
  • 2. Stir in sugar; return to a full rolling boil. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  • 3. Remove from heat; skim off foam and any undissolved candies (all of the candies normally dissolve). Pour hot liquid into hot canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Adjust caps. Process for 5 minutes in a boiling water bath. (Note: Use only jars made for canning in the boiling water bath. Regular jars from store-bought items might break. The one I used that previously had store-bought jelly in it (one with black lid), I didn't process ... it was just my "sample" jar to go straight into the fridge.) Yield: about 6 half-pints

CANDY APPLE JELLY

Delicious on a bagel with cream cheese. **4 cups of Unsweetened apple juice may be substituted in this recipe.

Provided by Nicker12

Categories     Jellies

Time 50m

Yield 6 1/2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 6

5 lbs apples
5 cups water
1/2 cup cinnamon hearts candy (also known as Red Hots or Cinnamon Imperials)
1 (1 3/4 ounce) package powdered fruit pectin
4 1/2 cups sugar
3 -5 drops red food coloring (optional)

Steps:

  • Wash apples and place in a large pot. If apples are small they can be put in the pot whole, if they are larger half or quarter them depending on their size. I use small apples fresh from the tree so I throw them in the pot whole.
  • Add 5 cups of water to the pot and bring to boil over high heat.
  • Reduce heat to simmer for 20 minutes until apples are soft. Mash the apples with a potato masher once they are soft enough.
  • Pour into a cheesecloth-lined colander over a bowl to separate juice. I use several J cloths to line my colander. (Just enough to cover the holes). Allow to drain for at least 2hrs without pressing or forcing juice from the apples for the clearest jelly.
  • I reserve the cooked apples and put them through a pulper to have apple sauce. I then discard the skins, seeds, and stems. Usually I have more than 5 lbs of apples so I can the juice in quart sealers so I can make jelly all winter.
  • In a large pot, combine 4 cups of the apple juice, candies, food colouring (if desired) and pectin. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
  • Stir in sugar; return to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down. Boil and stir 1 minute.
  • Remove from heat; skim off foam with a metal spoon.
  • Ladle hot mixture into six hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Jars must be hot so that the hot jelly doesn't break the glass.
  • Wipe rims with a wet paper towel. Place metal lids on jars; screw on bands until resistance is just met, but don't over tighten.
  • Place jars into canner with simmering water, ensuring that they are completely covered with water. Bring to a boil; process for 10 minutes.
  • Remove jars and cool. Jelly may take up to 3 days to set so don't panic if it doesn't set right away. .

Time 25m

Yield 6 Pint Jars

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 cups apple juice
1/2 cup red-hot candies
1 (1 3/4 ounce) powdered fruit pectin
4 1/2 cups sugar

Steps:

  • In a large sauce pan, combine the apples, candies and pectin. Bring to a full rolling boil (high heat). Be sure and stir constantly. Once boiling, add your sugar and bring it back up to a full rolling boil and cook for 2 more minutes. Again, keep stirring.
  • You will need to skim off any foam and fish out any undissolved candies.
  • Very carefully ladle your hot jelly mixture into sterilized half pint jars. I recommend using a canning funnel. Leave about 1/4 inch head space.
  • Remove any air bubbles (I use a butter knife to sort of stir them out), use a damp cloth to wipe the rims clean and put your lids on, hand tighten.
  • Process in a boiler water bath for 10 minutes. Make sure you have enough water to cover the the tops of the jars and remember, the water will cook down, so either add a touch more before boiling or keep a kettle of hot water on the back burner to add more if needed.

4 c apple juice
1/2 c red hot candies
1 pkg powdered fruit pectin
4 1/2 c sugar

Steps:

  • 1. In a large saucepan, combine the apple juice, candies and pectin. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar; return to a full rolling boil. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; skim off any foam and discard any undissolved candies. Carefully ladle hot mixture into hot sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Remove air bubbles, wipe rims and adjust lids. Process for 5 minutes in a boiling-water canner. Yield: about 6 half-pints.

Tips:

  • Select the right apples: Use a combination of tart and sweet apples for the best flavor. Some good options include Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, and Pink Lady.
  • Prepare your apples properly: Wash and core the apples, then cut them into small pieces. This will help them cook down more quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcook the apples: Cook the apples until they are soft but still hold their shape. Overcooked apples will make the jelly candy too mushy.
  • Use a candy thermometer: A candy thermometer is essential for making jelly candy. It will help you ensure that the candy reaches the correct temperature, which is critical for a successful batch of candy.
  • Be patient: Making jelly candy takes time and patience. Don't rush the process, or you will end up with a sticky mess.

Conclusion:

Making apple jelly candy is a fun and rewarding experience. With a little time and effort, you can create a delicious and unique treat that is perfect for any occasion. So next time you have a craving for something sweet, give this apple jelly candy recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
