Tura, Add the spices in step 2 under “Extract the Apple Juice”.

Linda, I’m glad you’re interested in the recipe! Unfortunately, reducing the sugar may affect the jelly’s ability to set properly. Since there is no added pectin in this recipe, the sugar plays a crucial role in helping the liquid form a gel. If you are looking for a lower-sugar option, you might want to explore using Pomona’s Universal Pectin. This pectin is designed for low-sugar or no-sugar-added jams and jellies. I hope you find a recipe that suits your needs!

Dawne, Thank you so much for your kind words! It’s wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the apple jelly, especially since you used your own homegrown apples. There’s nothing quite like the taste of homemade, is there? We’re thrilled that you found our recipe and that it worked well for you. Happy canning, and thanks for sharing your feedback!
