Return the apple juice to the pan, and stir in the sugar until dissolved.

Bring mixture to a full, rolling boil (a boil than cannot be stirred down), and boil hard, uncovered, for about 12 minutes, or until the syrup sheets off a metal spoon.

Remove the mixture from heat, and quickly skim off the foam with a metal spoon.

Ladle the jelly into hot, sterilized jars, leaving a 1/4 inch headspace.

Seal jars using metal lids.

Makes 4 half-pints.

Store jars of jelly in a cool, dry place.
