Apple Cider Jelly

"It's not too sweet as less sugar is needed. I use the dark cider (or use your homemade cider) for more robust cider taste."

Questions & Replies

  1. Mine didn't Gel either. Is there anyway to still utilize the ingredients and save this? Re-boil? Add more Pectin?

  1. This didn't gel for me. Boiling for 1 minute didn't seem long enough and i am sure that is why it didn't gel. If you make this recipe, boil until a candy thermometer reaches 220 or use the spoon test.
     
  2. When making jelly rule of thumb is 1 oz dry pectin per cup of juice. 6 oz of pectin and it gelled perfectly. Also boiled for 3 minutes.
     
  3. I followed the directions and it didn’t gel. Even after a few days of sitting, it still didn’t gel.
     
  4. I too thought it didn't gel but this one takes 48 hours to set. Came out perfect.
     
  5. I followed the recipe to the letter and it didn't gel.

Tweaks

  1. Use 5 cups sugar, make sure you don't add sugar until you have a rolling boil, after you add the pectin/sugar mix. Add all 5 cups at once, and stir on and off til another rolling boil. When your mix starts to foam, and boil up the sides of your kettle, slowly turn it down to a simmer, stir and boil another 3-5 minutes. Do the freezer test, and then bottle it...it will set as it cools after the water bath...DEEE-licious!
