How to Make Red Hot Apple Jelly
- Combine 4 cups of apple juice and 1 pouch (1.75 oz) of liquid pectin in a large, microwave-safe bowl.
- Cover with plastic wrap, venting one corner slightly. Microwave on high for 12-14 minutes, stirring twice during cooking, until mixture comes to a rolling boil.
- Remove from microwave carefully (it will be hot!).
- Add 4 cups of granulated sugar and 1 cup (about 12-14) of Red Hot candies, stirring well to dissolve the sugar and distribute the candies evenly.
- Return to the microwave and cook until the mixture returns to a rolling boil, about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
- Boil hard for 1 minute to ensure proper setting.
- Remove from microwave and carefully skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
- Pour the hot jelly into hot, sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace at the top.
- Cap and seal the jars tightly.
- Process in a boiling water bath canner for 5 minutes to create a proper seal and ensure shelf stability.
