Cover the berries with 2 quarts of water. Cover with a lid and bring to a boil, cooking for 20 minutes. Set aside to let it cool down for handling, about 10-15 minutes.\u003cbr\u003eWhile the berries are boiling, measure 3 – 24” pieces of cheesecloth (or use a muslin cloth, or tea towel), layering one on top of another. Alternatively, if you want to use a large hand strainer by mashing the berries to remove the sauce, that works too.\u003cbr\u003eTake a large bowl and place the cheesecloth in the bowl.\u003cbr\u003eNext, ladle or pour the boiled berries and juice into the cheesecloth. Pull the ends of the cheesecloth together to form a ball, knotting the top, while squeezing the juice into the bowl. Squeeze the remaining juice out of the ball.\u003cbr\u003eTake the remaining juice and place it back into a clean pan. Add: Sure Jell pectin, bring to a boil.\u003cbr\u003eNext, add 6 cups of sugar; 3 Tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice. Continue to cook at a steady boil for another 2 minutes or until the juice begins to thicken, coating the back of a spoon (or reaching 212 degrees with a candy thermometer). I found that the jelly thickened even more after canning, sitting over night.\u003cbr\u003eRemove from heat, and skim foam from the beautyberry juice with a spoon.\u003cbr\u003eUsing a ladle, pour the beautyberry juice into the sterilized jars, securing the lids on tightly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI ship in a regular white envelope with a stamp so that I don’t have to charge $8 per packet of seeds.  This works out fine 99% of the time.  Occasionally the postal service machines damage seeds.  If that happens please contact me and I will replace them.   To ship in a bubble padded envelope counts as a package with the postal service and rates start at $5.15 which just doesn’t make sense since most of my customers only order one packet.\n        \u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n    \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Eternatradellc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48426102980849,"sku":"JSN381Z","price":1.2,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0792\/9036\/8241\/files\/Output_124.jpg?v=1784538499","url":"https:\/\/eternatradellc.com\/products\/50-american-beauty-berry-seeds-american-beautyberry-bush-callicarpa-americana-birds","provider":"Eternatradellc","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
