1 quart fresh apple juice
1 3/4 ounces fruit pectin (bloomed)

Add juice, bloomed pectin, lemon juice, extracts and food coloring into saucepan. Cook over high heat until mixture comes to a rolling boil, (usually 30 to 45 minutes), stir constantly.
When mixture has hit the rolling boil stage add the sugar and cinnamon (if using) and re-heat until mixture comes to another rolling boil.
