Orange Juice Jelly Recipe

Place the orange juice concentrate water and pectin in a saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat stirring constantly. Once the mixture reaches a boil add the sugar and return to a simmer stirring constantly. Boil hard for 1 minute then remove from the heat and skim off any scum that has formed at the top.

Sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water for at least 5 minutes. Pour the jelly into the hot sterilized jars filling the jars to within 1/2 inch of the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a moist paper towel to remove any food residue. Top with lids and screw on rings.

Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2 inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring the water to a full boil cover the pot and process for 5 minutes.

Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface several inches apart until cool. Once cool press the top of each lid with a finger ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all).
