Ingredients

Scale

  • 3 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 pouch (3 ounces) liquid fruit pectin

Instructions

  1. Wash and crush the black raspberries.
  2. Combine the crushed raspberries and lemon juice in a large saucepan.
  3. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  4. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
  5. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove seeds and pulp. Measure out 3 cups of juice.
  6. Return the juice to the saucepan. Add the granulated sugar and stir until dissolved.
  7. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
  8. Add the liquid fruit pectin, stirring well.
  9. Return to a rolling boil and boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  10. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
  11. Ladle the hot jelly into hot, sterilized canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  12. Wipe jar rims clean and apply lids and bands.
  13. Process the jars in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes.
  14. Remove jars from canner and cool on a wire rack. Check seals after 24 hours.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe black raspberries for the best flavor.
  • Sterilize jars and lids thoroughly before filling to ensure proper sealing.
  • Do not overcook the jelly once pectin is added, as this can prevent it from setting.
  • Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
  • Refrigerate opened jars and use within 3 weeks.
