First off, this makes 3 and a half x 1/2 pint jars. No jelly with less than 5 cups of ingredients makes 6 cups of product. That being said, this turned out excellent. I used 12 oz of root beer, no water, a 3oz packet of liquid Certo and it jelled great. I don't care for root beer at all, but my family loves it. My SO tasted out of the half jar and declared "This is great!".

Just made this Jelly for the third time. It so easy to make and will make a unique Christmas gift. This time i eliminated the water and used 12 oz of rootbeer and it turned out better with more rootbeer flavor.

The first time I made this exactly according to the recipe, and it wasn't quite strong enough for my taste, but I didn't have any rootbeer extract, so ever since I've just put in an entire 12oz bottle of pop (minus one sip for the cook) and left out the 1/2 cup of water. The color and flavor are stronger that way. I've made this recipe several times recently with different kinds of pop; rootbeer, orange cream, and grape. I think the grape is my favorite so far. Tip, use the liquid pectin as stated in the recipe. Once, I was out of liquid pectin, and tried to make a batch of orange cream jelly with this recipe and a package of powdered pectin. I got a very liquidy, very sweet syrup. Great for italian sodas, but if you want jelly, use liquid pectin.
