Thank you Angie at The American Homemaker
2 c. soda pop (Coca Cola, Dr. Pepper, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Root Beer, Sprite, etc.)
6 c. sugar
1 c. water
3 oz liquid pectin
Combine all ingredients except pectin. Heat to boiling, stirring to dissolve sugar. Once the mixture reaches a boil add pectin. Stir constantly to bring to a boil and boil hard for 30 seconds. Skim off foam, if needed*. Pour into sterile, hot jars and process for 5 minutes in a boiling water bath canner. I got 6 1/2 half pints.
*You can place the foam into a bowl and microwave it for 30-60 seconds (depending on how much you have). It turns back into jelly which is a great way to taste test!
My Texas friends (You know who you are!) would call this "Coke Jelly" no matter what the flavor is. ;)
This would make a wonderful, unique gift for friends and family.
