Print Options
Description
Bring the taste of the fair into your home with this easy and delish jelly. Great on buttered toast or add a little sweet and spice to your morning pancakes.
Ingredients
- 1-¾ ounce, weight Powdered Fruit Pectin
- ½ cups Red Hot Candies
- 4-½ cups Apple Juice (no Sugar Added)
- 4-½ cups Sugar
- 8 jars Half-pint Canning Jars, Lids And Rings
Preparation
In large saucepan or pot stir in pectin and red hots with apple juice. Bring to a boil stirring constantly until red hots are dissolved. When liquid comes to a rolling boil that can’t be stirred down, boil for one minute.
Stir in sugar and keep stirring until mixture comes to a rapid boil. When liquid comes to a rapid boil that can’t be stirred down, boil another full minute.
Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
Pour into hot jars leaving 1/4″ headspace. Hand tighten lids and process in a water bath for 5 minutes. This recipe will make about 8 half pint jars of beautiful red jelly.
*Note: You can chop up the red hot candies prior to stirring in the liquid in a food processor to assist with them dissolving.

Followed the recipe and jelly was setting up almost before I could get it in the jar. I did process the jelly for ten minutes as was advised by pectin. Lovely color. Just right for Christmas

I made this today, such a pretty jelly! I took your advice and put the red hots in the food processor, turned them into powder and they dissolved instantly. This jelly took a little longer to set than others that I have made, but it did set within a few hours. Tastes just like a candy apple!

Hi Rachel, no, I would use the amount of sugar the recipe calls for. You would risk the jelly not setting up properly if you reduce the amount. Thanks!
