APRICOT JELLY
3½ cups (1¾ lbs.) apricot juice
½ cup lemon juice

To prepare juice, pit (do not peel) about 5 pounds fully ripe apricots. Add ¾ cup water, bring to a boil, and simmer, uncovered, 20 minutes. Place in jelly cloth or bag and squeeze out juice. Squeeze and strain juice from 4 medium lemons. Measure sugar and juice into large saucepan and mix. Bring to a boil over hottest fire and at once add Certo, stirring constantly. Then bring to a full rolling boil and boil hard ½ minute. Remove from fire, skim, pour quickly. Paraffin at once. Makes about 11 glasses (6 fluid ounces each).
