1 quart beautyberry shrub berries 1 packet Sure Jell Pectin 3 cups sugar 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Wash and dry berries.
Place berries in a heavy saucepan and cover with water.
Bring to a boil and then simmer on low to medium heat for 20 minutes.
Strain berries from liquid.
Add sugar according to Sure Jell's suggestion. I had 2 1/2 cups of juice so I added 3 cups of sugar.
Add lemon juice and Sure Jell.
Bring to a boil and stir until thickened. About 15 mins or more, making sure to stir so that it does not burn on the bottom.
Pour into clean sterilized jars. Let sit for 24 hours or move to a canning bath container for a longer shelf life.
Place in the refrigerator. Last for about one month.
