How to make jelly at home from scratch and preserve it by water bath canning - from harvesting the fruit to canning the resulting smooth jam.  This is a simple jelly recipe - easy to make (beautyberry jelly in this case).

Beautyberry fruit jelly has a very tasty and delicate berry-like flavor (perhaps leaning towards grape - but not the same).  There's something appealing about turning a seldom used weed into a useful product!  There are other uses for the shrub too - projects for another time.

The ingredients for 4 cups of jelly are as follows:

2 US qts (~2 L) sorted and cleaned beautyberries
2 US qts (~2 L) water
¼ cup lemon juice
2 lbs (~900 g) sugar (1¾ lbs (~800 g) works fine, maybe with a bit more boiling)
Pectin for 4 cups of jelly (follow the pectin supplier's instruction)

Note: There are enough beautyberries and water in this recipe for two batches of jelly.  However, resist the temptation to make it all in one go, as it might gel before you get to can it!  Refrigerate the surplus liquid for when you make the next batch of jelly.
