Got this in my inbox from a yahoo group I am on. Thought iIwould share it.
Traditional Jellies
Sour Cherry
3 1/2 C cherry juice (made with sour cherries)
1 package powdered pectin
4 1/2 C sugar
Prepare canner, jars and lids.
In a large, deep stainless steel saucepan, place cherry juice. Whisk in pectin until dissolved. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring frequently. Add sugar all at once and return to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove from heat and quickly skim foam. (You can add 1/2 tsp of butter while boiling to reduce foam but do not use any more than 1/2 tsp)
Quickly pour hot jelly into prepared jars, leaving 1/4” headspace. Wipe rim. Center lid on jar. Screw band down until resistance is met, then increase to finger tip tight.
Place jars in canner, ensuring they are completely covered with water. (water comes about 1” to 2” above the jars) Bring to a boil and process for 10 minutes. Adjust time according to altitude. Remove canner from the heat and let rest 5 minutes. Remove jars and let cool
Completely then store.
Makes: 5 - 8 oz jars
