This is so much better than the jellies at the supermarket. Do not be tempted to rush this and squeeze the juice instead of letting it drain out overnight. Squeezing the berries can make the jelly cloudy. Prep time includes straining overnight.

First timer here. It was good, and I loved your detailed instructions. I added 3 vanilla beans, and that seemed to be way too much- maybe next time i'll just add one.

    This was written so clear! Thank you, especially about the "overnight" tip. I was worried that mine wasn't gelling, be patient, mine took HOURS (overnight)...and was delicious. BTW: I am in love with the Pomona's Universal Pectin (health food stores) - used only 1/2 the amt. of sugar w/honey...it's not picky with the sugar to pectin ratio.

    I made this recipe around 2 weeks ago, and my jelly is gelling!! Super easy recipe and tastes SO good. DH told me to use up the remaining 6 gallons of berries in the freezer making some more of this jelly. Thanks MaeEast. Any first timer jelly makers looking for a good, easy recipe - your search is over, this is THE one!
