Easy to Make Apple Cherry Jelly


by Original Author: Shaw nee Tichenor, Sebastian County | Adapted for Blog: Torrie Smith, Van Buren County

Did you know an easy way to make jelly is to use juice from concentrate? In this video, Shaw nee Tichenor, Sebastian County Extension Agent - Staff Chair and FCS, shows you a simple way to use Apple Cherry juice concentrate to make jelly using added pectin. You can use the same recipe to make any thawed juice concentrate into a jelly. 

 

  • 12 ounces concentrated Apple Cherry, thawed
  • 2½ cups water
  • 4½ cups sugar
  • 1 box powdered pectin

To Make Jelly—Sterilize canning jars. Measure sugar and set aside. Mix juice and water in a saucepot. Stir in powdered pectin. Bring to a full boil over high heat, stirring constantly. At once stir in sugar. Stir and bring to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat; skim off foam quickly. Pour hot jelly immediately into hot, sterile jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace. Wipe rims of jars with a dampened clean paper towel; adjust two-piece metal canning lids. Process in a Boiling Water Canner.

Please read Using Boiling Water Canners before beginning. If this is your first time canning, it is recommended that you read Principles of Home Canning.
