Daymon's Plum Jelly

Ingredients:

• 7 pounds Plums
• 1 ½ cups water
• 1 box Sure Gel
• 7 ½ cups sugar
• ⅛ teaspoon paraffin wax

Directions:

1. In a large pot, cover 7 pounds of fruit with 1 1/2 cups water. Bring to a boil, then simmer, covered, 10 minutes.

2. Put the berries and liquid through food mill (you should get 5 1/2 cups juice; for a clearer jelly, do not press on pulp, and for an even clearer jelly, you can strain it after it goes through the mill)

3. Sure-Gel fruit pectin and bring to a boil. Add 7 1/2 cups sugar and bring to a hard boil. Boil 1 minute and take off burner. Let set for a few minutes, then skim off foam.

4. Put in hot jars. Top each jar with 1/8 teaspoon paraffin wax.
