Fresh Herb Jelly

Last year I didn't have such good luck growing
fresh herbs in the garden, this year I hope to
have enough to try making this fresh herb jelly.

Ingredients:
2 cups Water
3/4 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 pkg Powdered pectin (1 3/4 oz)
4 cups Sugar
1/4 cup Fresh chives, finely chopped
1/4 cup Fresh thyme leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup Fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup Fresh basil leaves, finely chopped
1/4 cup Fresh tarragon leaves, finely chopped

Directins:
In a large saucepan, stir together the water,
lemon juice and powdered pectin.
Scrape the sides of the pan to make sure
all the pectin has dissolved.
Place the saucepan over high heat and bring to a boil.
Stir constantly to prevent scorching.
Add the sugar and herbs while stirring.
Bring the mixture to a full, rolling boil 4 minutes,
then remove from the heat.
Skim the foam off the top of the mixture
and pour into clean, sterilized jars.
Seal with parrafin, if desired,
and allow to set overnight.
