Microwave Red Hot Apple Jelly

4 c Bottled apple juice

1 pk Powdered pectin

4 c Sugar

1/4 c Red hot cinnamon candies

Combine apple juice and pectin in a 3 quart, microwave-safe bowl. Cover with plastic wrap or waxed paper and bring to a boil in the microwave oven on high setting (about 12 to 14 minutes). Stir twice. Remove from oven; add sugar and cinnamon candies, stirring well. Return to microwave: cook until mixture returns to a rolling boil, about 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Boil hard 1 minute. Remove from oven. Skim foam if necessary. Pour hot into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch head space. Adjust caps. Process 5 minutes in boiling water bath. Do not attempt to process in microwave oven. Yield: 6 half pints. From: Ball Blue Book Shared By: Pat Stockett
