Como fazer Lime Jelly

Zest the peel of 5 limes using a microplane or fine grater. Set aside.
Juice 6-8 limes until you obtain ¾ cup of fresh lime juice. Pour into a medium bowl.
Add 1 cup of water and the reserved lime zest to the lime juice. Stir well to combine.
Line a medium bowl with 3 layers of damp cheesecloth. Pour the lime mixture into the cheesecloth, gather the edges, and tie securely with kitchen twine.
Suspend the cheesecloth-lined bag over the bowl and let the mixture drip for 10-15 minutes, gently pressing the bag to extract as much liquid as possible.
Measure exactly 2 ½ cups of the strained lime juice into a 6-quart saucepan.
Add 2 ¼ cups of granulated sugar to the saucepan and stir until the sugar dissolves.
Add a few drops of green food coloring, if desired. Stir gently.
Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. This is crucial to prevent scorching.
Stir in the powdered pectin according to package instructions.
Return the mixture to a full rolling boil and boil exactly for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat and skim off any foam with a spoon.
Immediately ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace.
Wipe the jar rims clean, apply lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath for 8 minutes (adjust processing time according to your altitude; consult a canning guide for your specific location).
Let the jars cool completely. Check the seals. Any jars that didn't seal properly should be refrigerated and used within a few weeks.
