Categories     Side Dish     Sauces and Condiments Recipes     Canning and Preserving Recipes     Jams and Jellies Recipes

Time P1DT40m

Yield 100

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 ½ pounds apples, cored and diced
3 cups water
7 ½ cups white sugar
½ teaspoon butter
1 (2 ounce) package powdered fruit pectin

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.

Valuable Tips When Making Apple Cider Cinnamon Jelly Recipes

Making apple cider cinnamon jelly can be quite an intricate process, but it is incredibly rewarding when the final product comes out perfect. The combination of sweet apples and warm cinnamon is irresistible, and making jelly out of these ingredients can be a beautiful gift you can give to your family and friends. Here are some valuable tips that can help you take the necessary steps to make an amazing apple cider cinnamon jelly:
1. Choose Your Apples Wisely
When making any type of apple dish, choosing the right apple variety can make all the difference. Apples that are sweet and tangy, like Honeycrisp, Fuji, and Braeburn, are perfect for making apple cider cinnamon jelly. These apple varieties will create a balanced flavor that’s not too sweet and not too tart. You can also add Granny Smith apples to the mix, which are slightly sour, to enhance the tangy flavor of the jelly.
2. Prep Your Equipment Beforehand
Making apple cider cinnamon jelly is a time-consuming process, so make sure you have all the equipment you need ready in advance. Here are some tools you’ll need:
  • A large pot to cook the ingredients
  • A ladle to pour the mixture into jars
  • A food processor to puree the apples
  • Jelly jars and lids that fit the recipe you are making
  • Jar funnel to help you pour the jelly mixture into the jars without spilling
  • A cheesecloth or clean kitchen towel to strain the solids from the liquid
3. Balance the Sugar and Acidity
Jelly recipes typically call for a significant amount of sugar. Generally, the rule of thumb is to use an equal amount of sugar to the amount of liquid used. However, you can always adjust the sweetness by adding sugar to taste. The acid in the recipe is also essential as it can help set the jelly. Apple cider vinegar adds a slight tang to the jelly, and lemon juice can help balance the sweetness.
4. Slow Cook the Apple Mixture
To get the perfect consistency in your apple cider cinnamon jelly, you’ll need to cook the apple mixture slowly. This process allows the pectin, which is naturally found in apples, to release and thicken the jelly. If you cook the apple mixture too fast, you risk burning the jelly or creating a runny texture. Low to medium heat for about 20 to 25 minutes is ideal for the apples to release their natural pectin and thicken the jelly mixture.
5. Use a Thermometer to Track the Temperature
The boiling point of water is 212°F (100°C); however, jelly requires a higher temperature to set correctly. The ideal temperature for jelly is 220°F (104°C). If you don’t have a thermometer, you can do a spoon test. Dip a cold spoon into the jelly mixture and hold it up. If the liquid runs off the spoon easily, then it hasn’t set yet. If it drips slowly, then it is close to being ready. If it drips slowly and starts to slide off the spoon, then it is ready to be poured into jars.
6. Let the Jelly Cool before Storing
After pouring the jelly into the jars, it’s essential to let them cool before sealing them. The jelly must cool to room temperature before storing it in the refrigerator or canning it. If you seal the jars too soon, you might create an environment for bacteria growth. Once the jelly has cooled, store it in a dry, dark place like a pantry or cabinet.
7. Enjoy Your Apple Cider Cinnamon Jelly
Store-bought apple cider cinnamon jelly isn’t the same as homemade. Making your own batch of apple cider cinnamon jelly can be an enjoyable and satisfying experience. With the right ingredients and the right techniques, your jelly can be a festive topping for toast, crackers, biscuits, and more. It’s also a perfect gift to give to family and friends during the holiday season. In Conclusion, Apple cider cinnamon jelly is a classic recipe that’s perfect for the holidays. When making this jelly, it’s essential to choose the right apple variety, balance the sugar and acidity, and slow cook the apple mixture for the best results. By using a thermometer to track the temperature and allowing the jelly to cool before storing it, you can ensure that your jelly will set correctly and be delicious. Enjoy!
