Ingredients

First, the juice:

To a large pot, add 2 gallons mayhaw fruit and enough water to cover the fruit by no more than 1 inch. Boil mayhaw till tender. Strain off pulp and seeds in colander, catching the juice in another container. Now pour juice through small mesh strainer till fairly clear. Some folks add a drop or two of red food coloring just to give it a brighter color and make it look pretty.

Directions

Now for the jelly:

Bring 4 cups of juice to a boil. Add 1 package powdered Sure Jell. Bring to a rolling boil for 3 minutes. Add 5 cups of sugar, bring to a boil for 1 minute. Fill sterilized jars to 1/4 inch from top, cap tightly and invert for a few minutes to complete process.
