Steps:

• Combine pomegranate and lemon juice with sugar in a large, stainless steel saucepan. Bring to boil over high heat, and at once stir in liquid pectin. Bring to a full rolling boil, and boil exactly 1/2 minute. Remove from heat, and skim off foam.
• Ladle into hot, sterilized jars to within about 1/4 inch of the top. Seal, and process in a boiling water canner for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Bring boiling-water canner, half full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain well before filling.
• Cut pomegranates in half horizontally. Squeeze out juice from each half with orange juice press or citrus reamer. Place 3 layers of damp cheesecloth or a jelly bag in large bowl. Pour prepared fruit juice into cheesecloth. Tie cheesecloth closed; hang and let drip into bowl until dripping stops. Press gently. Measure exactly 3-1/2 cups juice into 6- or 8-qt. saucepot.

Stir in sugar. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 min., stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
• Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 5 min. Remove jars and place upright on a towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middles of lids with finger.

Steps:

• Sterilize canning or jelly jars, and let dry without touching insides or rim. Place lids in a saucepan, and cover with boiling water; let stand until ready to use.
• Cut pomegranates in half, and extract juice from seeds with a citrus juicer or reamer. Strain through a fine sieve into a large saucepan, discarding pulp. You should have about 5 cups juice.
• In a small bowl, mix pectin with 1/4 cup sugar; stir mixture into juice in saucepan. Bring to a boil, and add remaining 4 3/4 cups sugar. Stir constantly until sugar dissolves while returning mixture to a boil; cook 2 minutes more.
• Remove from heat, and ladle mixture into sterilized jars. Remove lids from boiling water, and dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel. Carefully place lids on jars, and twist shut. Invert jars; let stand 30 minutes to seal.
• Reinvert jars, and check seals by pressing middle of lid with your finger. The lid should not spring back when released. If it does, the jar is not sealed; unsealed or open jars should be refrigerated and used within 3 weeks. Store sealed jars in a cool, dry, dark place up to 1 year.
