A delightful jelly recipe using cream soda for a unique and sweet flavor.
Pour the cream soda into a large pot.
Use a pot with high sides to prevent boiling over.
Add the granulated sugar to the pot and stir to combine.
Stir gently to avoid splashing.
Heat the mixture over medium heat until it reaches a boil, stirring occasionally.
Keep an eye on the pot to prevent the mixture from boiling over.
Add the powdered pectin to the boiling mixture and stir constantly.
Sprinkle the pectin evenly to avoid clumps.
Boil the mixture hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
A hard boil is when the mixture continues to boil even when stirred.
Ladle the hot jelly into clean, hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
Use a funnel for easier pouring into jars.
Process the jars in a boiling water bath canner for 5 minutes.
Ensure the jars are fully submerged in water during processing.
Remove the jars and let them cool completely before storing.
Listen for the 'pop' sound to ensure jars are sealed properly.
