Root Beer Jelly - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    1 cup root beer
    3 cups sugar
    1/2 cup water
    1 (3 ounce) envelope liquid pectin
Preparation
    Combine all ingredients except pectin.
    Heat to boiling stirring to dissolve sugar.
    Add pectin.
    Stir constantly to bring to a boil and boil hard for 30 seconds.
    Ladle into clean hot jars and process for 5 minutes in a boiling water bath canner.
    *Note-this came out of a 1935 cookbook and there was no processing time-just seal.
    Go with the 5 minutes folks.
    Also, you can use cola or cream soda if you like-they work best. Maybe even Dr. Pepper!
