Pomegranate Jelly

Recipe #146005 | 45 min | 40 min prep | add private note

I love pomegranates and it is hard to have to wait for the late fall season to be able to have them. So making this jelly is second best. You do not have to make the juice, it can be purchased in the Health Food section of your supermarket or a healthfood store. Make sure it is pure pomegranate juice. A good brand is POM. They even have mix pomegranate and mango, plus other combos! If making this for gifts, you could probably make them in the 4 oz jars. A truly beautiful and tasty jelly. If you like currant jelly, you'll love this!

    Seems like it takes forever to setup.

    I only give this recipe 4 stars as I had to re-do it and add another packet of liquid pectin after a day. It would not set up with only one. I read the recipes for other types of jellies on the box insert and for that quantity of juice/sugar it required 2 - 3 ounce packets. I'm hopeful it will come out this time, it appears soupy yet but definitely closer to semi-solid than it was.

    This is yummy... mine still hasn't set yet, so we shall see, I might have to redo them... We used fresh pomegranates ( we got a REALLY good sale!)... I had no idea how hard and time consuming they were to juice!!!! Next time I think I will just buy the juice premade... i got 8 jars of goodness from this batch and am looking forward to enjoying them in the months ahead!!
