This is another old Southern Indiana recipe from a Nazarene minister's wife.
5 med beets
1 - 1 1/2 cups water
3 tbsp lemon juice
1 pkg (3/4-oz) powdered pectin
3 1/2 cups sugar
1 box (3-oz) raspberry gelatin
Wash the beets thoroughly and cut off roots and tops. Place in a large kettle with the water. Boil until you have 3 cups of beet juice. Strain the beets through a strainer, retain juice and discard beet mush.
In large kettle, combine the 3 cups of beet juice, lemon juice, powdered pectin, sugar, and gelatin. Bring the mixture to a boil and boil for 2 minutes. Remove mixture from the heat. Pour into hot sterilized jars and add hot 2-piece lids. Listen for jars to seal. When jars seal they make a popping sound and indent slightly in the center. Refrigerate any jars that do not seal!
