Making Jams and Jellies

Refrigerator Jelly with Splenda®

• 2 packages or 2 tablespoons unflavored gelatin
• 4¼ cups bottled unsweetened fruit juice (1 quart plus ¼ cup)*
• ½ cup Splenda® Granular

Yield: About 4 half-pint jars

Procedure: Sterilize jars. In a saucepan soften gelatin in juice. Bring to a rolling boil, dissolving gelatin; boil 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in Splenda® granular. Skim foam if needed. Pour into hot sterilized jars, leaving at least ¼-inch headspace. Apply lids, cool and store in refrigerator. (Do not process in a canner or freeze.)

*This recipe was tested using commercially bottled white grape-peach juice.

Note: Sterilized jars are not required for this recipe; it can be filled into hot, clean jars or plastic refrigerator containers. However, sterilized jars would be best for avoiding spoilage during storage. Refrigerator jellies made with gelatin typically last 1 month in the refrigerator until opened.
