For best results, use fully ripe strawberries at their peak sweetness. Sterilize your jars and lids by boiling them in water for 10 minutes prior to filling. Experiment with different fruit and drink mix combinations! Raspberry with blue raspberry drink mix, or peach with orange drink mix are excellent choices. If you prefer a less sweet jelly, you can reduce the amount of sugar by up to 1 cup, but be aware that this may affect the setting of the jelly. For a smoother texture, you can strain the mashed strawberries through a cheesecloth before adding them to the saucepan.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the mashed strawberries, water, fruit-flavored drink mix, and dry pectin. (5 minutes)
02
Step
6 mins
Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. A 'full rolling boil' is one that doesn't stop bubbling even when stirred. (5-7 minutes)
03
Step
1 mins
Once a full rolling boil is achieved, immediately stir in the granulated sugar. (1 minute)
04
Step
3 mins
Continue to boil for precisely 3 minutes more, stirring constantly to ensure the sugar is fully dissolved and the jelly thickens slightly. (3 minutes)
05
Step
10 mins
Remove the saucepan from the heat and carefully transfer the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving approximately 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each jar. (10 minutes)
06
Step
2 mins
Wipe the rims of the jars meticulously with a clean, damp cloth to ensure a proper seal. (2 minutes)
07
Step
2 hrs 30 mins
Allow the jars to cool completely before refrigerating. The jelly will continue to set as it cools. (2-3 hours)

Jun 14, 2025The jelly didn't set for me the first time, but I realized I hadn't brought it to a *full* rolling boil. The second batch was perfect!

Apr 26, 2025I was skeptical about the drink mix, but it actually adds a really nice tanginess. I used grape flavor and it was delicious!
