How to Make Diabetic Grape Jelly

  1. In a small bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/4 cup of the grape juice. Let it sit for 5 minutes to soften.
  2. In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the remaining 2 3/4 cups grape juice, orange rind, cinnamon, and cloves (if using).
  3. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  4. Reduce heat to low and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, or until the mixture has reduced to approximately 1 cup and has thickened slightly. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove solids.
  6. Return the strained juice to the saucepan. Stir in the softened gelatin until completely dissolved.
  7. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
  8. Stir in the artificial sweetener to your desired level of sweetness. Taste and adjust as needed.
  9. Pour the jelly into a clean, sterilized jar or container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until completely set.
  10. Serve chilled and enjoy!
