Chokecherry Jelly
Ingredients
  • 3 cups prepared juice
  • 6 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 2 pouches Certo Liquid Pectin
Instructions
Prepare the Juice
  1. To make the juice combine 12 cups chokecherries with 3 cups water in a large pot. Bring to a boil and simmer, covered, 15 minutes. Pour into a colander lined with 3 layers of cheesecloth. Bring edges of cheesecloth together gently (careful it is HOT, so hot that I use rubber gloves and even then it is HOT) and let the juice drip. You can squeeze the bag gently but try not to ... you only need 3 cups of juice.
Jelly
  1. In a large saucepan stir together juice and sugar. Bring to a boil over high heat. Boil hard 1 minute then at once remove from heat and add pectin. Stir and skim any froth for 5 minutes.
  2. Pour into sterilized jars and seal with sterilized lids.
