Certo Dewberry Or Loganberry Jelly Recipes

DEWBERRY JELLY

Steps:

• Place berries in large boiler with enough water to almost cover berries.
• Bring to a boil, turn down, and simmer berries for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Allow to cool slightly, then pour through fine sieve type strainer and allow to drain overnight (this time can be shortened, but I love for it to strain a long time in order to get all of the juice out of the berries).
• You should now have 3 3/4 cups juice (if necessary you can add up to 1/2 cup of water to give you a full 3 3/4 cups).
• Place the juice in a large boiler with the package of pectin and bring to a full rolling boil (one that cannot be stirred down).
• Stir often.
• While this is coming up to a boil, measure sugar into a bowl.
• When the juice is at a full rolling boil, add the sugar quickly and stir constantly.
• Bring back to a full rolling boil and cook for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat and ladle into jars that have been prepared and sterilized.
• Wipe rims of jars with damp, clean rag and place lids and rings on jars.
• Process in a water bath for 10 minutes.
