Chokecherry Jelly/2
3 pounds (approximately) chokecherries
1/4 cup water
1 pkg. powdered fruit pectin (1-3/4 oz.)

Wash the cherries and remove the stems. Place them in a large pot and
crush them. Do not remove the pits. Add 1/4 cup water and bring to a
boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Strain cherries and all
the liquid through a jelly bag.
Measure 3-1/2 cups juice and combine with pectin in a saucepan. Bring to
a hard boil over high heat, stirring occasionally. Immediately add sugar
and return to a full, rolling boil. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring
constantly. Remove from heat and skim off foam with a metal spoon. Pour
at once into sterilized jars, leaving 1/2-inch headroom, and seal with
sterilized lids according to manufacturer¹s directions. Yield: About 5
half-pint jars.
