I didn't know they did that. My concern would be more with the ph level of it. This is a new question to me.

Disclaimer - this isn't technical info. ;) At my age I am very "fiber oriented" and can tell you that most fiber additives will increase the gel of the liquid they are added to - only need to look at my morning glass of OJ with Benefiber. ;)

No taste that wife or I can tell, but thicker.

The maltodextrin is a natural glucose made from starch so there might be an increase in "sweet" but it would be minimal.

Vitamins shouldn't be any problem tho the Vit. C may improve the color - just a guess.

I'd exchange the bottle if convenient but if not I'd probably use it.

I think,for as inexpensive as apple juice is, that I will just drink it and jell some plain old un-fortified apple juice with my red hots. That'll teach me to READ the labels more carefully!

Thanks.

Nancy, I'm just happy that you posted this question, since I had never heard of Candy Apple Jelly. I looked up the recipe on line, and plan on making some later this week.

My son wanted to make something with apples, and the local ones aren't quite in season yet, so this will keep him happy till then!

For others who may not have heard of it before, I thought I would post the recipe:

CANDY APPLE JELLY

4 cups apple juice
1/2 cup red-hot candies
1 (1.75 ounce) package powdered fruit pectin
4 1/2 cups sugar

DIRECTIONS
In a large kettle, combine apple juice, candies and pectin. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in sugar; return to a full rolling boil. Boil for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; skim off any foam and undissolved candies. Pour hot liquid into hot jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Adjust caps. Process for 5 minutes in a boiling-water bath.

Thanks again for the idea!
