Orange or Lemon Jelly Perfection on poppy seed or lemon muffins! I've used this jelly as emergency marinade for grilling fish and it's now my go-to.

Yield 2-3 (1?2 pint) jars

2 1/2 cups* orange juice or lemon juice

Zest from all the oranges or lemons

6 cups sugar

1 packet (3 ounces) liquid pectin

Zest the oranges or lemons. Reserve zest.

Juice the citrus fruits until you have the amount needed.

Combine juice and zest in a bowl and let stand for 10 minutes.

Pour juice into a large saucepan and add sugar. Mix thoroughly.

Heat rapidly to boiling. Add pectin at once and stir constantly.

Return to full rolling boil for 1/2 minute.

Remove from stove and skim off foam.

Pout into prepared jars and cover tightly. Let cool, then refrigerate.

Keeps in refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.

*Generally speaking, a medium or large lemon will produce about 1?4 cup juice. You can substitute frozen orange juice or lemonade, but do not dilute with water.
