Red Currant Pomegranate Cranberry Jelly, Reduced Sugar
- 2 cups red currant juice (* --see Note below)
- 2 cups unsweetened pomegranate juice
- 2 cups unsweetened organic cranberry juice
- 1/2 cup water
- 4 1/2 cups sugar
- 1 box Sure-Jell, for lower sugar recipes (pink box)
- Pour all juices and water into heavy cooking pot.
- In a small bowl, combine pectin and 1/4 c sugar.
- Add to juices in pot and stir well.
- Bring to a boil over medium high heat, stirring constantly.
- After liquid comes to a boil, quickly add remaining sugar and mix in well.
- Bring mixture back to a hard rolling boil (a boil that cannot be stirred down) and boil for one minute.
- Remove from heat and quickly ladle hot liquid into sterilized jars.
- Screw on lids and process for 5 minutes in boiling water bath.
- Remove from bath and wait for lids to"pop".
- If all processed properly, let sit undisturbed for 24 hours before testing for gel.
- If some of your jars did not process properly, refer to your pectin box for re-processing or put in your refrigerator and treat as open jar of jelly, using within one month.
- *Note: To make red currant juice, wash red currants well (you don't need to remove stems).
- Put berries in heavy cooking pot and add 1/2 cup water.
- Bring to a simmer, cover and cook for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
- Pour cooked fruit into a jelly bag and let drip over bowl for several hours, or until done dripping.
- Don't try to coax the juice out quicker by squeezing the jelly bag or your jelly will come out cloudy.
- 4 pints of berries gave me 2 cups juice.
