How to Make Root Beer Jelly
- In a large saucepan, combine 4 cups root beer, 7 cups sugar, and 1/4 cup lemon juice.
- Bring mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar completely.
- Reduce heat to a simmer, and stir in 1 box (1.75 oz) powdered pectin.
- Increase heat to high and bring to a rolling boil, stirring vigorously. Boil hard for 1 full minute.
- Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
- Ladle the hot jelly into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
- Process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes (ensure jars are fully submerged).
- Remove jars and let cool completely. You should hear a 'pop' sound as the jars seal.
- Enjoy your homemade Root Beer Jelly! (Cola or cream soda can be substituted for root beer)
