I always cook the ingredients longer than it says. I was in a hurry, and it did not set. The next day, I poured the liquid from the jars, and cooked it again. It worked fine. It has set very firm like jelly is suppose to. I suggest you cook your ingredients longer than the jelly recipe calls for to ensure it sets well. Especially if you are using sure-jel pectin, boil and cook much longer than a minute. If you like apple jelly on toast, I believe you will like this. It taste very similar to apply jelly when on buttered toast.

I used fresh squeezed juice, and tried to get it to set twice, without any success. On a positive note, it makes a wonderful glaze for Orange Chicken which we had for dinner tonight...

I made this with 2 cans of frozen lemonade concentrate. One regular and one pink. So tart and yummy! Will definitely make again (I want to try it with orange juice but I didn't have any in my freezer).

I modified this. I can not drink orange juice because of high acidity. So I used fresh squeezed oj from the tree in my back yard. I dont use liguid pectin I only use sure jell. On concentrate you use 5 & 1/4 cups sugar on this recipe I only used 5 and turned out great...Oh and to get rid of scum or the nasty fuzz stuff on top my mother in law said if you use 1/2 teaspoon of real butter when you start cooking, the butter eliminates the scum so you dont have to skim it before putting it in jars

Sugar Sugar inhibits the growth of bacteria, keeping your jam fresh, fruity, and safe to eat. Jam recipes are formulated to call for a certain ratio of pectin to sugar, and they will not jell properly if you don't use the correct amount of sugar. If you'd like to make less-sweet jam, you'll need to buy a special kind of pectin that's formulated to work with less sugar.

This is pretty jelly. I only gave it four stars because I feel that it is a little too sweet. As others have said, it is very easy to make.I guess I was expecting it to have more of a tart taste. I may try less sugar next time or maybe add a little lemon juice. Thanks for the recipe Rachael!

I added the sugar at the wrong time so it turned out more of a nectar. (HAHA) Still tastes good though! (I might add a little less sugar and of course put it in at the right time.)

Great flavor and color, easy to make, next time I will add just a touch more pectin since mine didn't set up quite to the consistency that I like. Otherwise it was amazing and I love it on just about anything bread-like in the morning!!!

This was my venture into jelly making and I just want to thank you for making it really enjoyable with this recipe! The jars are cooling off as I type. I tasted the jelly before putting in the jars and it tasted fantastic! I read one of the reviews where it said that it tastes like sunshine in a jar and I'll definately second that...thanks for a super great recipe, Rachel...I'll be making more of this!!
