Mountain Dew Jelly Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups Mountain Dew soda
  • 3 cups granulated sugar
  • 1 box powdered fruit pectin (about 1.75 oz)
  • Green food coloring (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare Canning Jars:
  • Sterilize canning jars and lids by placing them in boiling water. Keep them hot until ready to use.
  1. Cook the Jelly:
  • In a large saucepan, combine Mountain Dew and powdered fruit pectin. Stir until the pectin is dissolved.
  • Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
  1. Add Sugar:
  • Add the granulated sugar all at once, stirring to dissolve completely.
  • Return the mixture to a rolling boil and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  1. Remove from Heat:
  • Remove the saucepan from heat and skim off any foam with a metal spoon.
  1. Add Food Coloring (Optional):
  • If desired, stir in a few drops of green food coloring to achieve the desired color.
  1. Fill Jars:
  • Ladle the hot jelly into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
  1. Seal Jars:
  • Wipe the jar rims clean with a damp cloth and place the lids on the jars.
  1. Process in Water Bath:
  • Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Adjust the processing time for your altitude if necessary.
  1. Cool and Store:
  • Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool completely on a towel-lined countertop.
  • Check the seals after 24 hours. The lids should not flex when the center is pressed.
  • Store the sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
