What does it mean if the color of my jelly is darker than normal?

• Overcooking the sugar and the juice will make the jelly darker. Try to avoid long boiling. It is best to make small quantities of jelly and cook it rapidly.

• If the jelly is stored for too long or at too high of a temperature, it could look darker.
