Beet Jelly

3 cup beet juice (made from cooking cleaned and peeled sliced beets in water)
4 tsp lemon juice
1 box powdered pectin
4 cup sugar
1 small pkg raspberry-flavored unsweetened Kool-Aid

Combine beet juice, lemon juice, and pectin (Sure Jell) in large pan.
Bring to a rolling boil. Quickly add sugar and boil for 6 minutes. Add
the soft drink powder and mix thoroughly. Pour into sterilized 8 ounce
jelly jars. Fill to within 1/2 inch of top. Put on cap, screw band firmly
tight. Process in boiling water bath 5 minutes.

Yield: Four 8-oz. jars.

Made 9/26/92. Amazing stuff. Tastes more like raspberry jelly than
some raspberry jelly Ive eaten. Makes five 8-oz. jars quite easily.
Beet juice mixture really boils up foamy -- used 6-quart pressure pan to
cook.

Another recipe from Blue Ribbon Pickles and Preserves, Maria Polushkin
Robbins, p. 58, St. Martins Press, omits lemon juice and used only
3-1/2 cups sugar.
