 Combine the cider, sugar and thyme in a 4-quart microwave-safe bowl, and stir well. 

Cook, uncovered, at full power (65 to 7 watts) for 1 minutes. Stir, return to the microwave, and cook until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has reached a full rolling boil, about 5 more minutes. 

Stir the pectin into the mixture, return it to the microwave, and cook for 1-1/2 minutes. 

Skim any foam off the surface, and pack the jelly into sterilized jars according to the manufacturer's directions.

Makes 1 quart. 

Note: A delicate flavor - just perfect for glazing a simple lamb or pork roast.
