How to Make Christmas Jelly
  1. Combine Ingredients: Start by placing 1 cup of fruit juice, 1 cup of sugar, 1 pouch of liquid fruit pectin, and 1/4 cup of water in a medium saucepan. Stir gently to mix everything together, ensuring the sugar dissolves evenly.
  2. Cook Over Medium Heat: Set your stove to medium heat and continuously stir the mixture as it comes to a gentle boil. This is the moment when the delightful aroma fills your kitchen, stirring up holiday memories!
  3. Boil for a Minute: Once boiling, keep stirring and let it boil for exactly 1 minute. This crucial step activates the pectin, helping your Christmas Jelly set just right with that perfect jelly-like consistency.
  4. Pour and Cool: Carefully pour the hot mixture into sterilized jars, leaving a little space at the top. Allow the jars to cool completely at room temperature.
