1. Place scuppernongs in large dutch oven and pour in water.
2. Bring to a boil and cook for 10 minutes.
3. Take potato masher and mash fruit.

5. This should yield around 5 cups of juice, you may have a little over or under.
6. If you have under, add water to bring up to 5 cups.
7. Measure sugar into a separate bowl and set aside until needed.
8. Place the juice in large boiler with the box of pectin.
