Ingredients

7.5 cups white sugar
4 cups pomegranate juice
2 lemons, juiced
1 (6 fluid ounce) container liquid pectin

Instructions

Check 11 (half-pint) jars for any signs of cracks and inspect rings for rust. Discard any damaged jars or rings. Submerge the jars in simmering water, keeping them there until the jelly is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings thoroughly with warm, soapy water.
In a large stainless steel saucepan, combine sugar, pomegranate juice, and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a vigorous boil over high heat. Stir in the liquid pectin, and then bring it back to a full rolling boil for 30 seconds. Remove from heat and carefully skim off any foam that has formed.
Carefully pack the pomegranate jelly into the hot, sterilized jars, filling each jar to within ¼ inch of the top. Use a clean knife or a thin spatula to run along the insides of the jars, releasing any trapped air bubbles. Wipe the rims clean with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Secure the lids on top and screw the rings on tightly.
Place a rack at the bottom of a large stockpot and fill it halfway with water. Bring the water to a boil. Using a jar holder, carefully lower the jars into the boiling water, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Add more boiling water, ensuring that the jars are covered by at least 1 inch. Return the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process the jars for 5 minutes.
Remove the jars from the stockpot and allow them to rest, spaced several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Gently press the center of each lid with your finger to confirm that the lids have sealed properly and do not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and keep the jars in a cool, dark place.
