Paradise Jelly

Molly53's Note:

Ruby-red and sweetly delicious. The nutritional information is skewed because the amount of sugar depends on how much fruit liquid is rendered. From the New England chapter of the United States Regional Cookbook, Culinary Arts Institute of Chicago, 1947. While this recipe is written in an old-fashioned way, it is perfectly safe if processed using modern methods.
