Cinnamon Anise Jelly image

This recipe comes from the Ball Blue Book. It sets up beautifully and has such a lovely holiday flavor!! The butter will make skimming the foam unnecessary but don't add more than 1/2 teaspoon as this could raise the ph of the recipe too much and make it unsafe for canning.

Time 30m

Yield 3 1/2 pint jars

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups apple juice
2 cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon anise seed
3 1/2 cups sugar
1 (3 ounce) package liquid pectin
1/2 teaspoon butter

Steps:

  • Break the cinnamon sticks into two or three pieces and tie them and the anise seed in a spice bag (make your own with several layers of cheesecloth and kitchen twine!).
  • Put the apple juice and the spice bag in a large stockpot and simmer for 10 minutes.
  • Add the sugar and the butter, stirring until dissolved.
  • Bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
  • Stir in the liquid pectin and return to a rolling boil. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Remove from heat and discard the spice bag. Ladle the hot jelly into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Adjust two-piece caps.
  • Process 10 minutes in a boiling-water canner (adjust for altitude).
