Beautyberry Jelly

We've got these berries growing like mad in our woods, and picked 2 quarts of

berries. To prepare them, rinse and clean the berries, then put them in a heavy
pan and add just enough water to cover them. Bring to a boil then remove from
heat. Cool berries, then strain through a cotton cloth.

To make jelly you need:
4 cups of the juice
4 T bottled lemon juice
1 packet pectin
7 cups sugar

Place the berry juice, lemon juice, and pectin into a heavy saucepan. Bring to
a rapid boil and boil for 2 minutes. Add sugar a bit at a time, then bring to a
boil again. Boil for another 2 minutes and test....when it sheets off a spoon
it's ready. Ladle into jars and process in a BWB for 5 mins.
