How to Make Candy Apple Jelly

  1. Measure 6 cups of apple juice and 2 cups of cinnamon candies into an 8-quart saucepan.
  2. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the candies are completely melted and the mixture is smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, measure 4 cups of granulated sugar.
  4. Stir in 1 package (1 3/4 oz) of liquid fruit pectin into the apple juice mixture in the saucepan.
  5. Add 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter.
  6. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  7. Quickly stir in all 4 cups of sugar.
  8. Return to a full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly and vigorously.
  9. Remove from heat immediately.
  10. Skim off any foam from the surface.
  11. Ladle the hot jelly into prepared pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  12. Process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes at altitudes up to 1000 feet. Adjust processing time according to your altitude if necessary (consult a canning guide for altitude adjustments).
