Making Jelly with Store purchased Juice ?

[Stephanie]

Okay, I ordered it, the 1/2 lb bulk. Now, I'll look forward to making some jelly, after I tried and failed, I haven't tried again.

Don't give up, Stephanie !

 

Because my Apricot Jelly was my first attempt, I made a 1 jar ( 10 ounce) batch, so I could know for sure if it will work, loose less if it did not, learn in the process, and have JUST 1 jar to watch.

 

I also don’t have a deep pot, nor one wide enough for more than 2 jars anyway! I need to scour the resale shops for a good deal on equipment!

Is there some reason I could not use Apple Cider ?

 

What about a Nector ????

 

[Violet]

Kevin, if you get the Pomona's pectin you can make anything gel ! Yes, cider will work, so will nectars. You can make wine jellies, some out of teas, too. The list is nearly endless of what you can make jelly from.

Stephanie, you will be able to make jelly, I promise !

I can't wait to get it, I ordered it and now have all kinds of ideas running rampant in my busy little brain.

 

I even saw a reference to coffee jelly the other day,

I used to make jelly from frozen concentrates. Our personal favorite was Hawaiian Punch Jelly. The recipe I used was similar to this:

 

Grape Jelly

(from frozen concentrate)

1 6-oz. can frozen concentrated grape juice

2 cups water

1 package MRS. WAGES Home-Jell

3-3/4 cups sugar

Use recipe for Grape Jelly. Substitute the above ingredients. Follow the procedure under Making Jelly.

Yield: 4 half-pint jars.

I like to make jam from canned crushed pineapple. It is SOOOO yummy on toast (or pancakes or waffles...) If it'll fit in a jar, I like to can it:?)

[Kevin B 123]

Try the small can of crushed pineapple, it should fit into a 12 / 16 ounce jar....... I make ONE jar of jelly at a time & keep it in the fridg.

 

 

Thanks so much for this idea, I think I'll do it next!

 

 

[Kevin B 123]

I like that Idea so much.... sound superb.
