Microwave Jelly (small amounts)

Best to microwave only one batch at a time. Since it's such a small amount, simply refrigerate, rather than processing.

In a small bowl, mix together the pectin and ClearJel powder with 2-4 Tablespoons of your choice of sweetener and set aside.





Combine the juices in a 3-quart microwave-safe bowl, and then whisk in the remaining sweetener, plus the pectin-powdered mixture. Cover with plastic wrap or waxed paper and bring to a boil in the microwave oven on high setting (about 5 minutes). Remove from microwave and stir.
