📝 Preparation Steps
1
Pick over the blossoms to remove any insects or debris.
2
Pour the boiling water over the blossoms and steep for 15 to ⏱️ 20 minutes, then strain into a jam pot. Measure the tea and add water if needed to reach the full amount.

3
Stir in the lemon juice. It balances the sugar, helps the pectin set, and adds the acidity needed to safely can the jelly, so don't skip it.
4
Bring to a boil, then whisk in the powdered pectin until dissolved and boil hard for 1 full minute. (Do not add the sugar at the same time as the pectin, or before it, or the jelly won't set.)
5
Add all the sugar at once and stir to dissolve. Return to a full rolling boil and boil hard for exactly ⏱️ 1 minute, then remove from heat and skim off any foam.
6
Ladle hot jelly into prepared jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rims clean, center lids, and apply bands fingertip-tight.
7
Process in a boiling water bath for ⏱️ 10 minutes, adjusting for altitude. Turn off the heat and let jars rest ⏱️ 5 minutes before removing. Cool undisturbed ⏱️ 12-24 hours before checking seals. Or, to skip canning, cool completely and store in the refrigerator for up to a month or the freezer for up to 6 months.
