How to Make Apple Juice Jelly
- Combine 4 cups apple juice, 1 box (1.75 ounces) powdered pectin, and a few drops of red food coloring (optional) in a large saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
- Add 4 cups granulated sugar all at once.
- Continue to boil hard for exactly 2 minutes, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and burning. A hard boil means continuous, vigorous bubbling.
- Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with a spoon.
- Ladle immediately into prepared half-pint canning jars, leaving ¼-inch headspace. Wipe rims clean.
- Seal jars with lids and rings. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust time based on altitude – check a canning guide for your specific location).
- Let jars cool completely. You'll hear the satisfying 'pop' as they seal. Once cool, check for a good seal by pressing the center of the lid. If it doesn't flex, it's sealed!
