How to Make Pomegranate Mountain Dew Jelly

  1. In a large saucepan, combine 2 cups pomegranate juice, 1 cup Mountain Dew, 1/4 cup lemon juice, and 1 pouch (1.75 oz) liquid pectin.
  2. Stir well to ensure the pectin is fully dissolved.
  3. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  4. Add 4 cups granulated sugar all at once. Stir continuously.
  5. Return to a rolling boil and boil hard for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent sticking and burning.
  6. Remove from heat and skim off any foam with a spoon.
  7. Ladle the hot jelly into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  8. Wipe the rims of the jars clean. Place lids and rings on jars.
  9. Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust according to your altitude – consult a canning guide for accurate processing times).
  10. Remove jars from the canner and let cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal.
