Life has been getting in the way of blogging lately. It happens to all of us but I seem to be less organized than most.
MIA but not Slackin off! HONEST!
Since this summers fruit harvest was pretty small I’d purchased some 100% pure juice to try alternative jelly making. It sat in the back of my pantry for a few months waiting for the heavy canning to be done. A few weeks ago I saw the post from MM @ Self Sustained LIving and it reminded me to pull my juice out.
The first batch was grape, the second a mixed berry.
The berry set up nice, the grape I had to reprocess and add more pectin for some reason. I did add sugar as both juices were pretty tart.
I ended up with 6 pints of each that will be nice with toast in the morning & the necessary PBJ’s
. 
I had to set them in the window sill for a bit to see the beautiful jewel colors for a few minutes. I would love to have a shelf in the middle of the kitchen window to place 1 jar from each item canned. It would not be safe I know but, I think it would look like a sustainable stained glass window.
I have made jelly like this quite often and love it Katie and yes the colors are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteDeb, I love the bold colors...well I love the look of preserved anything lol! Deb, did you need to add sugar to yours also?
