Canning Jelly Question

[sahmofthree]

I'm going to try canning some watermelon jelly today, and am trying to make sure I understand each step before I get started (I'm a canning newbie!). The instructions on my pectin says for james and jellies to use 250 ml jars and to process for 15 min for my altitude. Problem is I only have 500 ml jars to use, but it doesn't give instructions anywhere for using larger jars so I'm not sure if I have to add more minutes to the processing time or not. Anybody know?

I know pints and half pints process for thesame amount of time. I don't know how that compares to ml though.

Okay, thanks! I just checked and a pint is 473 ml, so I'm assuming 500 ml jars are basically the same.

Watermelon jelly sounds good. Care to share your recipe or a link? And I second PP time for pints and half pints being the same.

Here is the link to the recipe I used. It turned out great! Really sweet, but tastes just like watermelon jolly ranchers.

Thanks! I am going to have to try it.
