Pomegranate Jelly Recipe

By dette

"For as long as I can remember, my mom has been making this pomegranate jelly and sending us all home with a few jars." To make this jelly even more tangy, substitute cranberry juice for pomegranate juice. —Tatiana Kushnir, Montara, California

Ingredients

• 3-1/2 cups pomegranate juice
• 1 package (1-3/4 ounces) powdered fruit pectin
• 5 cups sugar

Step 1

In a Dutch oven, combine pomegranate juice 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 foam. Pour hot liquid into hot sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Wipe rims and adjust lids. Process for 5 minutes in a boiling-water canner. Yield: 6 half-pints.
