Orange Juice Freezer Jelly

This tastes just like orange marmalade without the bitter aftertaste from the peels.

Orange Juice Freezer Jelly

2 cups orange juice, fresh or reconstituted frozen, either is fine

1/4 cup lemon juice, fresh or bottled

4 1/2 cups sugar, measured into separate bowl

3/4 cup water

1 box Sure Jell Fruit Pectin

Measure orange and lemon juice into large bowl. Stir in sugar. Let stand 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix water and pectin in small saucepan. Bring to boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minutes. Add to juice mixture; stir 3 minutes or until sugar is dissolved and no longer grainy. (A few sugar crystals may remain.) Fill your containers immediately to within 1/2 inch of tops. Wipe off top edges of containers; immediately cover with lids. Let stand at room temperature 24 hours. Jelly is now ready to use. Store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks or freeze jelly for up to 1 year. Thaw in fridge before using.

Makes about 5 (1-cup) containers
