Reduced-Sugar homemade jelly is easy to create with the Ball® FreshTECH Automatic Jam & Jelly Maker. Just add the fresh ingredients and it does the rest in under 30 minutes. Once your jelly is made you can enjoy right away, freeze for up to a year or use a simple waterbath canning process to fresh preserve. If you like a sweeter taste, try our Full-Sugar Recipe.

You will need:

4 Tbsp Ball® RealFruit® Classic Pectin
1/2 tsp Butter or margarine
2 cups granulated sugar

Directions:

  1. MEASURE 3 cups apple juice in a 4-cup or larger liquid measuring cup. Gradually whisk pectin into juice until fully incorporated. (Pectin will not be completely dissolved at this time.) Pour juice mixture into the clean Pot fitted with the Stirrer. Add butter/margarine to help reduce foaming. PRESS jelly button – the cook time will automatically default to 25 minutes. Press enter.
  2. WAIT 4 minutes for appliance to sound 4 short beeps indicating that it is time to add sugar. Add sugar gradually while Stirrer continues running.

  4. REMOVE Stirrer using a pot holder. Skim foam, if necessary, from top of jelly.
