WATERMELON JELLY 
4 c. seeded, diced watermelon
3 1/2 c. sugar
2 tbsp. lemon juice
1/2 of a 6 oz. pkg. liquid fruit pectin (1 foil pouch)

Place diced watermelon in a blender container or food processor bowl. Cover and blend or process until smooth (should have 2 cups watermelon puree).

In a 6 to 8 quart kettle or Dutch oven combine the watermelon puree, sugar and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil (a boil that cannot be stirred down) over high heat, stirring constantly with a long handled wooden spoon.

Stir in pectin all at once. Return mixture to a full rolling boil; boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove kettle or Dutch oven from heat; skim off foam. Ladle jelly into clean hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe jar rims; adjust lids. Allow to cool completely away from drafts, then store in cool, dark place. Makes 4 half-pints.

 Clare (Florida) says:
This recipe would have gotten 5 stars if the jelly would set. Here is what I added to get it to set:

*1/4 c sugar (total 3 3/4 c sugar)
*1 Tbsp. lemon juice (total 3 Tbsp. lemon juice)
*The other package of liquid fruit pectin (total of 2 3oz. pkgs. liquid fruit pectin)

Follow recipe as directed, it *SHOULD* set. Wonderful Jelly!
