Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Mountain Dew soda
- 4 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 packet Liquid pectin
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
Instructions
In a large saucepan, combine Mountain Dew soda and lemon juice. Stir gently to avoid losing carbonation too quickly.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over medium heat, then stir in granulated sugar.
Continue stirring until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture comes to a rolling boil.
Once boiling, add the packet of liquid pectin to the mixture. Stir thoroughly to combine.
Allow the jelly mixture to boil vigorously for 1 full minute, stirring constantly.
Remove the saucepan from heat and skim off any foam from the surface of the jelly using a spoon.
Carefully ladle the hot jelly into sterilized glass jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.
Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth and seal them with sterilized lids and bands.
Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure they are properly sealed.
Remove the jars from the water bath and allow them to cool completely at room temperature. Check the seals after cooling.
Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Refrigerate after opening.
