How to Make Ruby Red Grapefruit Jelly

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1 box (1.75 oz) powdered pectin with 4 cups Ocean Spray Ruby Red Grapefruit Juice.
  2. Bring mixture to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
  3. Stir in 7 cups (1.4 kg) granulated sugar.
  4. Return to a rolling boil and boil hard for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  5. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
  6. Ladle hot jelly into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  7. Wipe jar rims clean. Place lids and rings on jars and tighten fingertip-tight.
  8. Process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes (adjust processing time based on altitude – consult a canning guide for your specific elevation).
  9. Remove jars from water bath and let cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal. Check seals by pressing the center of each lid. If the lid doesn’t flex, it is sealed.
