Wake Up Coffee Jelly

1 . Stage

Inspect five 8-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jelly is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.

2 . Stage

Mix water and instant coffee in a pot; bring to a boil. Add pectin and bring back to a boil. Add sugar and bring back to a boil.

3 . Stage

Boil the mixture for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour jelly into hot, sterilized jars. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.

4 . Stage

Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.

5 . Stage

Remove the jars from the stockpot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.
