If you have cardamom seeds, crush a couple and toss them in, too. Add water just to cover, bring to a boil and continue boiling, gently, for 10 to 15 minutes.

For each cup of juice you will need just over a cup of sugar. Put the juice back in the pan, heat it and let it boil for a few minutes, then add the sugar and boil vigorously until setting point is reached (about 10 to 15 minutes). Put in jars, seal, and process in a boiling-water bath for 10 minutes. This recipe yields ?? servings. © 2008 canning-recipes.com contact
