How to Make Mountain Dew Jelly

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 4 cups Mountain Dew and 1/4 cup lemon juice.
  2. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat.
  3. Boil for exactly 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly to lukewarm (approximately 10-15 minutes).
  5. Following the package directions for Sure-Jell (or your preferred pectin), prepare the jelly using the cooled Mountain Dew mixture. (Note: The amount of Sure-Jell needed may vary depending on the brand and type of pectin used.)
  6. Once the jelly has set according to the Sure-Jell instructions, carefully pour into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  7. Process the filled jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure a safe seal. (Adjust processing time based on your altitude – consult a canning guide for specifics.)
  8. (Optional) For a more concentrated Mountain Dew flavor, reduce 5 cups of Mountain Dew to 3 1/4 cups before proceeding with step 1. This requires simmering over low heat until desired volume is reached.
