Homemade Raspberry Jelly

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups fresh raspberries
  • 4 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 packet (1.75 oz) powdered fruit pectin
  • 1/2 cup lemon juice

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Raspberries: Rinse your raspberries under cold water and remove any stems or leaves.
  2. Extract the Juice: In a large saucepan, crush the raspberries over low heat until they release their juice. Cook gently for about 10 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine sieve or jelly bag to remove seeds. You should have about 2 cups of juice.
  3. Prepare the Jelly: Return the juice to the saucepan and add the lemon juice and pectin. Stir until the pectin is dissolved.
  4. Add the Sugar: Add the sugar to the saucepan and stir over medium heat until the sugar has completely dissolved.
  5. Boil the Jelly: Turn up the heat to high and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil that can’t be stirred down. Boil hard for 1 minute.
  6. Jar the Jelly: Ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top. Seal the jars while the jelly is still hot.
  7. Store: Allow jars to cool at room temperature. Check the seals before storing in a cool, dark place.
