Tangy jams and jellies

4 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2 cans (12 oz each) Unsweetened frozen apple juice or apple raspberry juice concentrate
APPLE-MINT JELLY
APPLE-BLUEBERRY JAM
1 pack (2 oz) dry pectin for jams and jellies made with little or no sugar

Directions

Partially thaw concentrate and add enough water to make 1 quart; pour into a 5 to 6 quart pan. Add pectin; stir until dissolved, about 10 minutes.

Scrape the pan sides often.

On medium-high heat, stir until boiling. On high heat, bring to a rolling boil that can't be stirred down; boil exactly one minute. Off the heat, skim off foam. Pour hot liquid into 1 to 2-cup jars to within ½ inch of rims.

Wipe rims clean, then cover with lids. Let jelly cool; serve or chill up to 3 months. Makes 4 cups.
