1 pkg powdered fruit pectin (1 3/4 oz pkg)
4 1/2 c sugar

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. .

  • 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.

Water:

Water is added to the mixture to help dissolve the sugar and gelatin and create a syrupy texture.

Valuable Tips for Making Apple Jelly Candy

If you're a fan of jelly candies, then you might want to try apple jelly candy. Making jelly candy can seem daunting, but with the right tools, ingredients, and technique, anyone can make a perfect batch. Here are some valuable tips to help you make the best apple jelly candy:
1. Choose the Right Apples
The type of apples you use for your jelly candy can have a significant impact on the final product. It's important to use apples that are high in pectin, which is a natural thickening agent found in fruits. Good apples to use for apple jelly candy are green apples such as Granny Smith or Pippin.
2. Use a Candy Thermometer
A candy thermometer is an essential tool when making jelly candy. It's important to monitor the temperature of the mixture throughout the cooking process to ensure the candy sets correctly. To make apple jelly candy, you'll need to cook the mixture until it reaches 220°F. You can also use the cold plate test to check if your candy has set correctly.
3. Don't Overcook
While it's essential to cook the mixture up to 220°F, it's important not to overcook it. If the mixture cooks for too long, it can become too hard and difficult to eat. Keep an eye on the temperature and take the mixture off the heat as soon as it reaches the desired temperature.
4. Add Lemon Juice
Lemon juice is often added to apple jelly candy recipes for flavor and as a natural preservative. Lemon juice helps to balance the sweetness of the candy and make it more acidic, which can help prevent spoilage. It's recommended to add 1-2 tablespoons of lemon juice to your apple jelly candy recipe.
5. Strain the Mixture
After cooking the apple mixture, it's essential to strain it to remove any solids or impurities. Straining the mixture will give your apple jelly candy a smoother and more consistent texture, with no lumps or bumps.
6. Let It Set Properly
Once you've poured the apple jelly candy mixture into a pan, let it set to room temperature before cutting it into pieces. Trying to cut the candy before it has completely set will result in a sticky mess. It's recommended to let the candy set for at least 2 hours before cutting it into bite-sized pieces.
7. Store in an Airtight Container
To keep your apple jelly candy fresh, it's important to store it in an airtight container. Exposure to air can cause the candy to become stale and lose its flavor. It's recommended to store the candy in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight.
8. Experiment with Flavors
While apple jelly candy is delicious on its own, you can also experiment with different flavors to create unique candy combinations. Adding cinnamon or vanilla extract can give your apple jelly candy a warm and cozy flavor. You can also add different fruits such as strawberries or raspberries for a fruity twist.
9. Use Parchment Paper
When cutting your apple jelly candy into pieces, it's recommended to use parchment paper to prevent the candy from sticking to the surface. You can also use a knife that has been greased with vegetable oil to make the cutting process smoother.
10. Enjoy!
Finally, the most important tip of all is to enjoy your homemade apple jelly candy! Making candy at home can be a fun and rewarding experience. Share your creations with friends and family, or keep them all to yourself for a sweet treat anytime.
