Beet Jelly

Nola wanted this one, so here it is.

Mom made this every summer when we were kids. She would can the beets and save the juice to make jelly. We ate a lot of it over the winter. My sister-in-law adds 2 small packages of strawberry jello to hers to make it taste like strawberry jelly.

8 cups beet juice
1 cup lemon juice
3 pkg pectin

Mix all together and boil hard for 1 minute.

Add:
13 cup sugar
Boil for 3 minutes. Bottle and seal or put wax on top

Makes approximately 7 1/2 pints.
