    Raspberry Lemonade Jelly

    Source of Recipe


    From "Better Homes & Gardens Jams and Jellies"

    List of Ingredients


    • 5 lemons
    • 2 cups raspberries
    • ½ cup water
    • 4¼ cups sugar
    • ½ of a 6-ounce package (1 foil pouch) liquid pectin


    Instructions


    1. Remove 3 tablespoons lemon zest and squeeze ¾ cup juice from lemons.
      In a small saucepan slightly crush raspberries. Stir in the ½ cup water and lemon zest. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Simmer, uncovered, 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand 10 minutes.

    2. Line a fine-mesh sieve with two layers of 100-percent-cotton cheesecloth; set sieve over a medium bowl. Pour raspberry mixture into sieve. Let stand 10 minutes to allow juices to drain. Using the back of a spoon, press gently to extract any remaining liquid; discard seeds and peel. Measure raspberry juice and add enough water to equal 1â…“ cups total.

    3. In a 6- to 8-quart heavy pot combine raspberry juice, lemon juice, and sugar. Bring to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin. Return to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off foam with a metal spoon.

    4. Ladle hot jelly into hot, sterilized half-pint canning jars, leaving a ¼ inch headspace. Wipe jar rims; adjust lids and screw bands.

    5. Process filled jars in a boiling water canner 5 minutes (start timing when when water returns to boiling). Remove jars; cool on wire racks.


      Makes 4 half-pint jars
