Rhubarb Jelly
Ingredients:
- 4 cups rhubarb, chopped
- 1 cup water
- 4 cups granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- 1 pouch (3 oz) liquid pectin
Directions:
1. In a large pot, combine the chopped rhubarb and water. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 10 minutes, or until the rhubarb is soft.
2. Remove the pot from heat and strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a large bowl, pressing down to extract as much juice as possible. Discard the solids.
3. Measure the rhubarb juice. You should have about 4 cups. If you have less, add water to make up the difference.
4. Return the rhubarb juice to the pot and add the granulated sugar and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve the sugar.
5. Once the mixture is boiling, add the liquid pectin. Return to a full rolling boil and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.
6. Remove from heat and skim off any foam with a spoon.
7. Carefully ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the rims with a clean, damp cloth and seal with lids and bands.
8. Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
9. Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool completely. Check the seals before storing.
