Sanitizing the jelly jars:
Bring a large stock pot of water to a boil. Add all jelly jars and rings. Boil 10 minutes. Add Lids. Boil 2-3 minutes more. Remove all jars, lids and rings from water and set on clean towel, right side up. Don't touch with your hands!

To Finish:
Pour jelly into jars 1/2 inch from the top of jars. Place on lid and tighten down rings. Place back into stock pot with water. Boil 15 minutes and remove from water. Lids will start popping when sealed. Store on pantry shelf or in the refrigerator. Will keep 1 year unopened.
*You must refrigerate once opened
Serve with your favorite scone or biscuit
