boiling. Add pectin, glycerine and gelatin, stirring well. Boil for 1
minute. Remove from heat. Skim and pour into hot, sterile pint jars,
leaving 1/2 inch at top. Cap with hot sterile lids. Process in
boiling water bath for 5 minutes after water returns to boiling. If
any jars fail to seal, refrigerate and use within 10 days or freeze
for later use. Makes 3 1/2 cups.

and 2 1/2 tsp calcium solution for the liquid pectin and glycerine,
but add calcium after removing from heat. If you plan to freeze the
jelly, be sure to use the full amount of gelatin.
