Directions
-
Sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 1/4 cup of the unsweetened apple juice in a small bowl. Let it stand for 5 minutes to soften and bloom.

Pour the remaining 1 1/2 cups of apple juice into a small saucepan. Add the lemon juice, cinnamon stick, and a few drops of yellow and red food coloring if desired.

Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cook for about 7 minutes, or until the liquid reduces by approximately one-third.
-
Remove the saucepan from the heat and discard the cinnamon stick.
-
Stir the softened gelatin mixture into the hot apple juice until completely dissolved. Add the artificial sweetener and stir until fully incorporated.
-
Carefully pour the hot liquid into a sterilized glass jar or small mold.
-
Cover the jar tightly with a lid or plastic wrap.
-
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or until the jelly is firmly set.
