Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
2 cups Orange Juice without pulp (fresh squeezed or no-calcium-added store bought)*
2 cups champagne or spumante or prosecco or sparkling wine
2 teaspoons calcium water
¼ cup lemon juice
¾ cup sugar
3 teaspoons Pomona’s pectin powder

Directions:
Directions:
1. Wash jars, lids, and bands. Place jars in canner, fill canner 2/3 full with water, bring to a boil. Turn off heat, cover, and keep jars in hot canner water until ready to use. Place lids in water in a small sauce pan; cover and heat to a low boil. Turn off heat and keep lids in hot water until ready to use.

2. Measure orange juice and champagne into sauce pan.

3. Add calcium water and lemon juice, and mix well.

4. Measure sugar into a bowl. Thoroughly mix pectin powder into sugar. Set aside.

5. Bring juice mixture to a full boil. Add pectin-sugar mixture, stirring vigorously for 1 to 2 minutes to dissolve the pectin while the jam comes back up to a boil. Once the jam returns to a full boil, remove it from the heat.

6. Fill hot jars to ¼” of top. Wipe rims clean. Screw on 2-piece lids. Put filled jars in boiling water to cover. Boil 10 minutes (add 1 minute more for every 1,000 ft. above sea level). Remove from water. Let jars cool. Check seals; lids should be sucked down. Eat within 1 year. Lasts 3 weeks once opened.

Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Option 1: For a more fruit-forward jelly, you can use a different ratio of orange juice to champagne: 3 cups of orange juice to 1 cup of champagne. If you increase the juice and reduce the champagne, you may want to increase the sugar some (we used 1 cup of sugar with this ratio). The lemon juice, calcium water, and Pomona’s pectin powder remain the same.

Option 2: Sweetness can vary depending on the orange juice you use. If you’re concerned about whether the jelly will be sweet enough, taste after Step 5. If you want it to be sweeter, you can add more sugar now. Turn on the heat, stir in the new sugar and bring the mixture back to a full boil. Turn off heat and go on to Step 6.
