Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Lemon juice
• 1.5 cups Water
• 1 cup Honey
• 2.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 1 box (1.75 oz) Powdered pectin

Directions

Step 1

Prepare your workspace by sterilizing 4-5 half-pint jars and their lids by boiling them in hot water for 10 minutes; keep them warm until ready to use.

Step 2

In a large pot, combine the lemon juice and water. Place the pot over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Whisk in the powdered pectin, ensuring it dissolves completely, and bring the mixture to a rolling boil that cannot be stirred down.

Step 4

Add the honey and granulated sugar to the pot, stirring constantly to combine.

Step 5

Increase the heat to high and bring the mixture back to a rolling boil. Boil for 1-2 minutes while stirring to prevent scorching.

Step 6

Test the jelly for doneness by dipping a spoon into the mixture and letting it cool slightly; it should coat the back of the spoon and run off in slow, heavy drops.

Step 7

Remove the pot from heat and skim off any foam from the surface using a spoon.

Step 8

Carefully ladle the hot jelly into the sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4-inch of headspace at the top. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth to ensure a proper seal.

Step 9

Place the lids on the jars and screw the bands on until fingertip-tight.

Step 10

Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to seal them. Remove the jars and let them cool on a towel or rack for 24 hours.

Step 11

Check the seals by pressing the center of each lid; if the lid does not spring back, the jar is sealed. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Refrigerate after opening.
