Directions

1

Sort, trim, stem, and wash 3 quarts of raspberries. Crush the berries. Add 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil. Simmer about 10 minutes.

2

Put the pulp in a damp jelly bag, and allow the juice to drip into a bowl for several hours. Don't squeeze the bag or the jelly will be cloudy.

3

Measure the juice into a pan and add Mrs. Wages® Fruit Pectin Home Jell®. Stir until it is dissolved. Make the quantity of jelly called for in the recipe. Increasing the amount may lessen the quality of the jelly.

4

Place the pan on high heat. Stirring constantly, bring the juice to a boil. Add sugar. Bring mixture to a full rolling boil that can't be stirred down.

5

Boil for one minute. Remove from heat.

6

Skim off any foam.

7

Quickly pour the liquid jelly into the jars, leaving 1/2-inch of head space.

8

Wipe any spilled jelly from jar rims, close jars with lids and tighten bands. Process 5 minutes in a boiling water bath. Remove from water bath and place jars on a rack or towel in a draft-free area, and leave to cool for 12 hours.

9

Test seal by removing band, then gently lifting each jar by the rim of the lid.

10

Store jelly in a dry, dark, cool place after labeling.
