Combine both liquids into one of the pans, adding sugar/Splenda. Cook on medium low until the sugar dissolved. Skim any foam off of the surface.
Bring mix to a boil and add 1 box pectin and bring to a rolling boil for one minute.

Boil in a hot water bath (with 1-2 inches of water over the lids) for 5 minutes.
Set on counter to cool and to set. Listen for the lids to pop. They could pop anywhere from 2 minutes to 2 hours afterward.
If they do not pop, they are not sealed and will need to be refrigerated and used immediately.
