4 tsp. unflavored gelatin
2 c. unsweetened apple juice
Artificial sweetener to equal 1 c. sugar
1 1/2 tbsp. lemon juice
Yellow food coloring, as desired

Wash and rinse 2 half-pint jars and lids. Cover with hot water. Bring to a boil; remove jars and lids and drain on towel.

To make jelly, soften gelatin in 1/2 cup of the apple juice. Bring remaining 1 1/2 cups juice to a boil; remove from heat. Add softened gelatin, stirring to dissolve. Add artificial sweetener, lemon juice and food coloring, as desired. Bring to a full rolling boil.

Fill jars, leaving 1/8-inch head space at top. Place lids on jars and screw bands tight. Invert jars for one minute. Stand jars upright to cool. (If center of lid stays down, jars are properly sealed.) Refrigerate.
