Remove it from the heat and remove any foam that may be there. (The butter prevents most or all of it.) Immediately ladle the jelly into hot half-pint mason jars leaving 1/4 inch of headspace.

Place a lid and ring on the jar and place the jar in the hot water bath or steam canner. Do this with all of the jars.

Process the jars for 10 minutes.

When canning in a hot water bath canner (or steam canner) always make note of the processing time. If the recipe only has one time shown, that is generally for 1-1,000 feet of elevation. Visit this article to learn how to make adjustments to the recipe for YOUR elevation: How to Adjust Canning Recipes for Elevation

After the jars have processed, turn off the heat, remove the lid of the canner, and let the jars rest for 5 minutes.
