  1. Wash six (1-cup) plastic containers and lids. Rinse with boiling water. Dry thoroughly.

  4. Mix water and pectin in small saucepan. Bring to boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Cook and stir 1 min. Add to fruit mixture. Stir for 3 minutes. (A few sugar crystals may remain.)
  5. Fill all containers immediately to within 1/2 inch of tops. Wipe off top edges of containers; immediately cover with lids. Let stand at room temperature 24 hours. Refrigerate up to 3 weeks or freeze up to 1 year.
