Raspberry Jelly

Makes six half pint jars. Original recipe here.

Ingredients

12 cups Raspberries (to create 3 cups juice)
1/4 cup Lemon Juice, bottled
5 cups Sugar
1 pouch Certo Liquid Pectin (85 mL)

Instructions

  • Crush raspberries. Put in jelly bag and let juice drip for at least 2 hours or overnight.
  • Prepare jars in hot water canner.
  • Combine juice with lemon juice and sugar in large pot. Bring mixture to full boil that can't be stirred down, over high heat, stirring frequently.
  • Add pectin, immediately adding all of it. Continue hard boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
  • Ladle hot jam into jars leaving 1/4 inch head space.
  • Process jars for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, let stand for 5 minutes.

Notes

I didn't get much additional juice after 2 hours. It's probably not worth it to wait overnight.
