Ingredients:
- 4 cups seeded, diced watermelon
- 3 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1/2 of a 6-ounce pkg. liquid fruit pectin
Preparation:
Place diced watermelon in a blender container or food processor
bowl. Cover and blend or process until smooth - you should have 2 cups
watermelon puree. In a 6- to 8-quart kettle or Dutch oven combine
the watermelon puree, sugar and lemon juice. 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. Return mixture to a full rolling boil; boil
hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove kettle or Dutch oven
from heat; skim of foam. Ladle jelly into clean hot half-pint jars,
leaving 1/4-inch head space. Wipe jar rims; adjust lids. Allow to
cool completely away from drafts, then store in cool, dark place.
Makes 4 half-pints.
