Watermelon Jelly (Quick-Boil Method)

Watermelon Jelly (Quick-Boil Method)

Ingredients:
4 cups seeded, diced watermelon
3 1/2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/2 of a 6-ounce package liquid fruit pectin (1 foil pouch)

Directions:
1. Place the diced watermelon in a blender or food processor. Cover and blend until smooth (you should have 2 cups watermelon puree).
2. In a 6 to 8 quart kettle, combine the watermelon puree, sugar and lemon juice.
3. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil (a boil that cannot be stirred down) over high heat, stirring constantly with a long-handled wooden spoon. Stir in the pectin all at once.
4. Return to a full rolling boil and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
5. Remove from the heat and skim off the foam.
6. Ladle the jelly into clean, hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe the jar rims and adjust the lids.
7. Allow to cool completely away from drafts, then store in a cool, dark place.
