Step 2
Strain through cheesecloth-lined strainer set over a clean saucepan, pressing gently to release liquids. Discard solids. Stir sugar and lemon juice into liquids; bring to a boil. Mix in pectin; stirring constantly 2 to 3 min. to dissolve. Remove from heat. Let stand 8 to 10 min. Skim off and discard any foam that forms on surface to ensure a clearer jelly.
