2. Boil Mixture: Heat the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring constantly until it comes to a boil and the sugar is completely dissolved.

3. Add Pectin: Once boiling, sprinkle in the powdered pectin, stirring vigorously to ensure it’s fully incorporated.

4. Boil Hard: Continue stirring constantly and allow the mixture to boil hard for 30 seconds. This helps activate the pectin and sets the jelly.

5. Prepare Jars: While the jelly is boiling, prepare your canning jars by washing them thoroughly and sterilizing them with hot water.

6. Ladle Jelly: Using a ladle, carefully pour the hot jelly mixture into clean, hot jars, leaving a 1/4 inch headspace at the top.

7. Process Jars: Seal the jars tightly with sterilized lids and rings. Process the jars in a boiling water bath canner for 5 minutes to ensure proper sealing and preservation.

8. Cool and Store: Once processed, remove the jars from the canner and allow them to cool completely at room temperature. You should hear the satisfying “pop” of the lids sealing as they cool.

9. Enjoy: Once cooled, your root beer jelly is ready to enjoy! Spread it on toast, biscuits, or use it as a glaze for meats. Get creative with your culinary creations!
