Apple Jelly Low Sugar Recipe. 4 cups fresh Apple Juice. 1 and 1/2 cups Sugar. 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice. In a large sauce pan, over a medium heat, add apple juice, sugar and lemon juice. Stir gentle until the sugar is dissolved. Turn stove top heat to high and bring apple juice to a boil, stirring continuously.
DIRECTIONS Combine apple juice and pectin in a large Dutch oven; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Add sugar and bring to a full, rolling boil. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove mixture from heat, and skim off foam with a metal spoon. Quickly pour hot jelly into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/2 inch headspace; wipe jar rims.
Measure 6 cups of the apple juice. Add water if necessary. Then add the juice, 1/4 cup sugar, and pectin to a large pot. Bring it to a boil, stirring constantly. Add the rest of the sugar and bring back to a boil. Boil for 1 minute while stirring. Spoon off any foam on the top. Ladle the apple mint jelly into your prepared jars.
Carefully remove jars and let them rest on the counter for 24 hours. I set mine on a cooling rack so they get air flow all around. The next day, you can transfer them to your long term food storage or your emergency food supply. I hope you enjoy this low sugar apple jelly recipe! How to make apple jelly recipe with fresh apples.
