Ingredients
- 4 cups Dr Pepper soda
- 3 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 packet (1.75 oz) Powdered fruit pectin
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Pour the Dr Pepper soda into a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium heat to reduce some carbonation. Simmer for about 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Step 2
Add the powdered fruit pectin and whisk until it is fully dissolved.
Step 3
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
Step 4
Once the mixture is boiling, add the granulated sugar all at once and stir until dissolved completely.
Step 5
Add the lemon juice and continue to stir. Allow the mixture to return to a full rolling boil and boil hard for 1 minute while stirring continuously.
Step 6
Remove the saucepan from heat and skim off any foam that forms on the surface of the jelly.
Step 7
Carefully ladle the hot jelly into sterilized glass jars, leaving about 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe the jar rims clean with a damp cloth and seal with sterilized lids and bands.
Step 8
Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure they are properly sealed and safe for storage.
Step 9
Remove the jars from the water bath and allow them to cool to room temperature. Check that the lids have sealed properly by pressing the center of each lid; it should not flex up and down.
Step 10
Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to 12 months. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 3 weeks.
