Steps:

• Sterilize canning or jelly jars, and let dry without touching insides or rim. Place lids in a saucepan, and cover with boiling water; let stand until ready to use.
• Cut pomegranates in half, and extract juice from seeds with a citrus juicer or reamer. Strain through a fine sieve into a large saucepan, discarding pulp. You should have about 5 cups juice.
• In a small bowl, mix pectin with 1/4 cup sugar; stir mixture into juice in saucepan. Bring to a boil, and add remaining 4 3/4 cups sugar. Stir constantly until sugar dissolves while returning mixture to a boil; cook 2 minutes more.
• Remove from heat, and ladle mixture into sterilized jars. Remove lids from boiling water, and dry thoroughly with a clean kitchen towel. Carefully place lids on jars, and twist shut. Invert jars; let stand 30 minutes to seal.
• Reinvert jars, and check seals by pressing middle of lid with your finger. The lid should not spring back when released. If it does, the jar is not sealed; unsealed or open jars should be refrigerated and used within 3 weeks. Store sealed jars in a cool, dry, dark place up to 1 year.
