How to Make Red Currant Raspberry Jelly

  1. Combine red currants, raspberries, sugar, and lemon juice in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  2. Bring mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to dissolve the sugar.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until the setting point is reached (a small amount of jelly placed on a chilled plate wrinkles when pushed with a finger).
  4. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
  5. Ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  6. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, seal with lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
  7. Remove jars from the canner and let cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' as the jars seal.
  8. Once cooled, check the seals to ensure they are airtight. Store in a cool, dark place for up to one year.
