You may add 1/2 tsp. of margarine so it doesn't foam. Add 2 tsp. lemon juice (or juice of 1 lemon) and 3-1/2 cups sugar. Stir and bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Immediatle add 1 pouch of Certo. Continue to stir and bring to full rolling boil. Continue to boil hard for 1 minute. Skim off foam quickly with large metal spoon and ladle into jars.
