How to Make Pomegranate Jelly

  1. Sterilize 8 (1/2-pint) jars, lids, and rings in boiling water for 10 minutes.
  2. In a large 6-8 quart saucepan, combine 4 cups pure pomegranate juice (Pom brand recommended).
  3. Add 1/2 cup water if the juice is too thick, for better setting. Pure pomegranate juice is preferred.
  4. Stir in 6 cups (3 pounds) granulated sugar.
  5. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  6. Add 1 box (1.75 oz) liquid pectin (such as Certo).
  7. Continue to stir vigorously.
  8. Bring the mixture back to a full rolling boil and boil hard for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  9. Remove from heat and skim off any foam with a large metal spoon.
  10. Immediately ladle the hot jelly into the sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace at the top.
  11. Wipe the rims of the jars clean with a damp cloth.
  12. Seal jars with lids and rings, using a proper sealing method.
  13. Immediately invert the jars onto a towel and let them sit for 24 hours to cool and seal.
  14. After 24 hours, turn the jars upright and check for a proper seal. The lids should be concave and not flex.
  15. For alternative jars or glasses, pour a thin layer of melted paraffin wax over the hot jelly before sealing.
