1. Juice enough fresh apples to make 4 cups of Juice.–You can use store bought Apple Juice or cider if you don’t have a juicer.

2. Boil the juice with 1.5 packs of pectin, along with 7 cups of sugar. –If you buy the sugar free pectin you won’t need the seven cups of suagr. You can also buy the low sugar pectin and use 1/2 th amount of sugar. Just read the insert that your pectin comes with. The more pectin you use..the thicken the jelly will be. I like mine thick like jam so use 1.5 packs.

3. Once it boils for about 7-10 minutes..you will notice it thickening up,  that is when you remove it from the heat. I let mine cool a bit before pouring the jelly into the jars. I like the self the suction jars that do not require boiling. I do not have the equipment to can them up. If you do..Go for it!

Even if you do not suction them up..they will last for several months in the fridge as is. If you have several kids who are eating PB&J, then don’t go through the trouble boiling them.

It is that simple!
