Mulled Cider Jelly
Report
My Mulled Cider Jelly is a beautifully golden spiced apple jelly that's an incredible addition to a fall cheese plate, or a simple turkey sandwich. It's super quick to make, and it can be water bath canned for gift giving.

Ingredients
- 4 cups apple cider
- 2 cinnamon sticks
- 1 tsp allspice berries
- 8 whole cloves
- 1/2 nutmeg
- Several whole star anise
- 10 cardamom pods, crushed
- 1 tsp coriander seeds
- 4 cups or 800 grams sugar
- 1.75 ounce box of Sure Jell fruit pectin powder for less or no sugar recipes, in the pink box
- 1/2 Tbsp butter, to help reduce foaming
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
- In a large non-reactive stock pot heat the cider with the spices to a boil. Turn off the heat, cover, and let steep for 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours or more, if you like. The longer you let it sit the stronger the spice flavor will be.
- Strain the cider and put back into the pan along with the lemon juice and butter. Mix 1/4 cup of the sugar with the pectin, and stir into the cider. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. A rolling boil is defined as a full boil that cannot be stirred down.
- Add the rest of the sugar, stirring constantly, and bring back to a full rolling boil. Once at the full boil, let it boil for one minute (set a timer.) Be sure to stir constantly.
- Ladle the hot jelly immediately into sterile jars, filling to 1/4 inch from the top. Wipe down the jars and rims, and fasten the tops.
- To can, immerse the jars in a water bath canner, making sure the jars are covered by at least 1-2 inches of water. Process 10 minutes. (Adjust the time if you live at a high altitude.)
- After jars have cooled at room temperature for 24 hours, store in a cool, dry, dark space for up to a year. Store opened jars in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
- If you choose not to can your jelly, it will last, refrigerated, for up to 3 weeks. You can also freeze it for up to 6 months. (If you plan on freezing, leave at least 1/2 inch headspace in your jars to allow for expansion.)
Notes
- Use apple cider or apple juice for this jelly.
