📝 Preparation Steps
1
Prepare jars and canner by sterilizing jars and bringing a boiling water bath canner to temperature.
2
Combine juice and pectin in a large, deep saucepan. Stir to dissolve and bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat and boil hard for ⏱️ 1 minutes. (If you're making chokecherry syrup instead of jelly, you can skip the pectin or only use half as much for a thinner, pourable preserve.)
3
Add sugar all at once and stir constantly. Return to a hard boil and cook for exactly ⏱️ 1 minute.
4
Remove from heat and immediately ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace. Wipe rims, apply two-part lids, and process in a boiling water bath canner for ⏱️ 10 minutes (adjust for altitude).
5
Let cool undisturbed for 12 to ⏱️ 24 hours. Check seals before storing.
