fresh muscadines |
crushed muscadines--thanks to my strong hubby:) |
I boiled the crushed muscadines in a couple inches of water for 25 minutes and then strained them. |
Muscadine juice (about 4 cups) after boiling and straining (with colander and strainer or cheesecloth) |
I brought the 3 to 4 cups of juice to a boil for 5 minutes, added about 6 cups of sugar and boiled for about 5-10 minutes. I added 1 packet of SureJel and boiled 1 more minute. |
After all of the boiling, I poured hot jelly into prepared jelly jars. |
I boiled the sealed jars for about 5 minutes. |
One of the things I am most passionate about is... cooking! However, I have never attempted the whole process of canning. I usually freeze our garden veggies and soups, instead of canning. I learned that canning is definitely not as difficult as it looks, and I'll be doing this project again soon!
Finished product!! |
This is how I make my Muscatine jelly too. Yours looks like you have been making it forever. Very pretty.
