Ingredients
- 2 cups Pomegranate juice
- 1 cup Dry red wine
- 3 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.75 ounces Powdered fruit pectin
- 0.5 teaspoons Unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the pomegranate juice and wine. Set the pot over medium-high heat and bring to a gentle simmer.
Step 2
In a separate small bowl, mix the powdered fruit pectin with 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar. Stir this mixture into the pot with the liquids, whisking until fully dissolved.
Step 3
Add the butter to the pot to help reduce foaming as the jelly cooks.
Step 4
Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly.
Step 5
Once boiling, stir in the remaining sugar all at once. Continue stirring and allow the mixture to return to a full rolling boil.
Step 6
Boil the mixture vigorously for 1 minute, stirring constantly, then remove the pot from the heat.
Step 7
Use a spoon to skim off any foam from the surface of the jelly.
Step 8
Ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe the rims of the jars clean and secure the lids tightly.
Step 9
Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes if you intend to store them long-term. Otherwise, let them cool fully before refrigerating.
Step 10
Allow the jelly to set for at least 12 hours before serving. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or in a cool, dark pantry for longer if properly canned.
