I've made it with fresh and with bottled juice and I can taste the difference. The fresh juice is so much better! If you use fresh...Use a juicer. I shuck all the fruit from our tree and then run the kernels through a conventional juicer and it's easy, you get all the juice and the mess is way more manageable. So far pomegranate has been the easiest and the most delicious and unusual jelly we've made.!

I gave this an average rating because we didn't follow exact instructions. Cut down the sugar by a cup & it was still sweet enough & also boiled for 1 minute (as box instructed). Almost set up but not completely. Will be good Christmas gifts!

I was a little unsure about this recipe but i made it anyway...i love pomegranates...and I am sooo glad that I did! I did use juice from langers...I just don't have the time to deal with the real fruit...and i had no problems with it setting. I also used powder pectin even though it calls for liquid...i still didn't have a problem with setting. It's beautiful and fabulous! Thanks for a wonderful recipe!

Not great, I made this now with the POM Wonderful juice and it wasn't great, so I remade my christmas gifts using the MCP recipe for Pomegranate Jelly on Kraft and it was wonderful!

First time making jelly. Easy & simple to follow - I used Pomegranate juice from refridgerator aisle. DON'T leave the kitchen when waiting for juice/sugar to boil - mine boiled over while I stepped away for 5 minutes. Let the mix boil for 1 min with the pectin. Family raved. Beautiful bottled, too. Thanks!

My boyfriend's mother made divine pomegranate jelly from scratch. She has since passed away and we cannot find her recipe (if it exists in written form!). This was somewhat close to it. I used POM juice (expensive!) instead of real juiced pomegranate and that may be where I went wrong. I used a bit of bottled lemon juice b/c I didn't have a lemon juicer and I was afraid I didn't get as much juice as I think I should have fr. the real lemons. Overall I added a bit over 1/2 cup. I reduced the sugar to 7 cups and it was still a bit too sweet. Overall, brings back good memories and I'll make my final judgement when I spread it on a biscuit! Thanks!

I also had trouble with this jelly setting. I even added a little more pectin than it called for. I guess I will likely use it for pancakes instead.

My friend and I made this. We didn't have a "hot water canner" and improvised with this metal thingy with a handle that we put at the bottom of a big stew pot. I would recommend investing in a canner, however since we burned our fingertips a bunch! Other than that this came out VERY GOOD! We followed the instructions on the liquid pectin stuff just to make sure it came out properly set. That meant keeping it at a rolling boil for a full minute. In fact, after we put in the two pouches of fruit pectin it stopped boiling! AHHH! we waited until it boiled again, then timed it. We thought we ruined it but it was perfect! ***UPDATE*** I bought a canner (SO MUCH EASIER THAN LAST YEAR) and made this recipe again....it came out AMAZING, AGAIN!

Lovely flavor. I was so impressed I used every single pomegranate on my tree to make this recipe. Granted, I only had a couple dozen fruit on the tree, but never the less all were invested in this delicious jelly. I did as others had suggested and used the powdered pectin, mixing it first with the juices, bringing to a boil and then adding the sugar and again bringing it to a boil. As far as juicing the poms.... bottom line- wear gloves! The lovely purple color stains but the following day your hands will actually look a deadly green- quite impressive. I juiced with a citrus juicer but found that a lot of the fruit did not get squashed so what was left I put in the blender and pulsed it a bit and then put everything through a strainer. The fresh fruit juice is a bit more tart than the 100% juice found in our grocery store but once mixed with the lemon and the sugar really has a delightful taste. I am planning on including the jelly made in Christmas gift baskets- it was that good!

I made this jelly for an event that called for an "unusual" food. It was wonderful with homemade "biscuit bites"! I bought bottled juice from the store and used powdered pectin. I also skipped the lemon squeezing and used 6 TBS. of lemon juice from a bottle. The jelly set up just right. My grandson thinks I should sell the jelly! I will probably make this jelly again!

I really enjoyed this recipe - it was quick and easy. I played with the juice a bit and found that it is even better with the pomegranate-cherry juice that POM Wonderful makes... I liked the added flavor of the cherry to my jelly.

Very good recipe. With full rolling boil there was no problem with jelly setting up. I cut the sugar down by a cup as the jam was to sweet. It overpowered the flavor of the fruit.

Nothing but raving when I packed some of this up for gifts. After reading the reviews, I doubled the pectin (used liquid pectin) and added more lemon juice (it won't gel without enough acid)-- but that was quite enough for the perfect texture... and a very delicious taste. Wanted to add--- I went to see the SO's family who I sent this with... Got complimented on it as soon as I saw them, 6 months later. Wow.

An easy quick, delicious jelly! I followed the review of Sabrina and boiled it for a full minute and it DID set perfectly. The only thing I would change is perhaps cutting a little back on the sugar because over powers the pomegranate taste a little but then again that's a matter of opinion. It's quick and easy!

I definitely liked the taste, but I had the same problem everyone else had--it doesn't jell, and after thinking about the canning process more closely, the reason is that you need to allow pectin ample time to heat at its boiling point. Tried it a second time, and this is what I suggest.... Use the box of powdered pectin (1.75 ounce) and add the pectin with the juices. Bring to a boil, THEN add the sugar and bring to a second boil for about a minute. This goes hand in hand with the pectin manufacturer's guidelines (who I called).

This has a wonderful flavor! I was a little worried about how runny it seemed, but when it was totally cooled, the texture was a nice soft texture. Easy to spread, and only a tiny bit runny. Thanks for a wonderful recipe! This is my all time favorite jelly! It's going to be this year's Christmas gift along with some fresh baked bread!
