Spiced Orange Jelly

Gather

Ingredients

• 2 cups orange juice (about 5 medium oranges)
• 1/3 cup lemon juice (about 2 medium lemons)
• 2/3 cup water
• 1 package powdered pectin
• 2 tablespoons orange peel, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon whole allspice
• ½ teaspoon whole cloves
• 4 sticks cinnamon, 2 inches long

Instructions

1. 01

   Presterilize half-pint or pint jars, hold them hot, and prepare the lids.

2. 02

   Tie the orange peel, allspice, cloves, and cinnamon loosely inside a clean spice bag.

3. 03

   Pour both juices and the measured water into a roomy saucepan. Stir in powdered pectin, add the spice bag, and heat rapidly while stirring.

4. 04

   Once the boil stays vigorous during stirring, add 3 1/2 cups sugar. Return to that boil and boil 1 minute; discard the spice bag and skim foam.

5. 05

   Fill the hot jars with 1/4-inch headspace and apply the lids.

6. 06

   Boiling-water process half-pints or pints for 5 minutes at 0–1,000 feet, then add time when the canning elevation requires it.
