Makin' Mayhaw Jelly was almost as much fun as pickin' em...
Leah, Luke, and Abby cleaning the jars...

Place 8 cups Mayhaw berries in 5 cups of water
Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes.
(We had picked a total of 20 cups of berries, so
we repeated the process a few times)
Mash berries in the pot...

Strain through a cheesecloth (mashing gently).
Return to pot, add 1 1/2 boxes of pectin
and bring to a boil.
Add 5 cups sugar and return to a boil.
Boil for 1 full minute.
Remove from heat.
Ladle into HOT jars.
Turn upside down once.
Let sit overnight.
Enjoy Mayhaw Jelly in the morning!

We actually cooked the berries twice and got 26 Jars!!!

I think Luke had the most fun :)
