APPLE CINNAMON JELLY

Apple Cinnamon Jelly image

I have made this for my five kids for their peanut butter sandwiches throughout all of their school years. I have made jars and jars of this wonderful jelly for gifts for teachers, neighbors and relatives for Christmas. It's easy, delicious and homemade-what's not to love? Be prepared to have to make this jelly regularly once the kids get a taste of it! -Nancy Jenkins, Fullerton, California
