Christmas Candy Apple Jelly

So pretty for Christmastime,

Christmas Candy Apple Jelly

is apple-y and cinnamon-y

and really simple to make!

You will need - 

4 cups apple juice

1/2 cup red hot candies

1 box (1.75 ounces) powdered pectin

4 1/2 cups sugar

Combine juice, candies, and pectin in a large saucepan until pectin is dissolved.

Bring to a boil and then add sugar.

Continue to boil, stirring constantly, for two minutes.

Skim off foam and carefully ladle into hot sterilized jars leaving 1/4" head space.

(Jelly will be liquid at this point.  After cooling completely overnight it will set up.)

Place sterilized lids onto jars and tighten bands.

Process 5 minutes in water bath canner. 

Carefully remove jars from canner and listen for pings

to make sure each jar seals properly.

Makes twelve 4 ounce jars.
