My wild violet jelly turned out fantastic and it's actually so pretty, I'm really impressed with how easy it was too?! 🫙🪻

Some of the wild (mustang) grapes I picked today. July 4th is grape harvesting day for me. They make fantastic jelly. The flavor is more tart than store-bought.

Autumn Jam and Jelly Shelf

From the first harvest of our Damson plums, Williams pears and Ribston Pippin apples in the garden to the last in the early Autumn, I use some of the year’s bounty to make jams and jellies (and also chutneys and preserves but this will be another post!) The feeling of satisfaction as my Autumn Jam and Jelly Shelf (often, more accurately, shelves) is only equaled by the first spoonful! Actually, no! The pleasure is just as intense, or maybe a tad enhanced, when I get a taste of my late Summer garden in the midst of Winter, generously spread on my morning toast on a cold day! Many of these jams and jellys, are necessarily, made with my garden fruit; but I also like making jams with a glut of fruit found at the market or foraged in the woods!

The Sweet Delight of Fruit Jelly: A Flavorful Journey.

When it comes to satisfying our sweet cravings, fruit jelly stands as a timeless treat that has been delighting taste buds for generations. Whether you're enjoying it as a spread on toast, a filling in a pastry, or simply spooning it straight from the jar, fruit jelly never fails to bring a burst of fruity goodness to your palate. At Mr. Mukhwas, we understand the joy of indulging in this sweet delight, and today, we'll explore the fascinating world of fruit jelly and its many delightful aspects.

Brief History

Fruit jelly has a rich history that dates back centuries. Ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians and Romans, were known to preserve fruits in honey or other sweet substances, creating an early version of what we now know as fruit jelly. Over time, this culinary art form evolved, with techniques improving and flavors diversifying.

The Making of Fruit Jelly

Creating fruit jelly is a meticulous process that involves several key steps. Here's a simplified overview:

a). Fruit Selection: The journey begins with choosing ripe and flavorful fruits. Different fruits can be used to create various flavors of jelly, from classic grape and strawberry to exotic combinations like mango-peach or blackberry-lime.

b). Cooking: The fruits are simmered until they break down, releasing their natural juices and flavors. Sugar is added to sweeten the mixture.

c). Straining: The cooked fruit is then strained to remove any solids, leaving behind a smooth liquid.

d). Pectin Addition: Pectin, a natural gelling agent found in many fruits, is often added to the liquid to give it that signature jelly-like consistency.

e). Boiling: The mixture is boiled until it reaches the desired gel point, and the jelly is ready to be poured into jars.

Versatile Uses

One of the wonderful things about fruit jelly is its versatility. Here are some creative ways to enjoy it:

a). Breakfast Bliss: Spread fruit jelly on your morning toast, bagel, or croissant for a burst of fruity goodness to kickstart your day.

b). Pastry Perfection: Use fruit jelly as a filling for pastries, tarts, or donuts to add a sweet and tangy twist to your baked goods.

c). Glaze and Marinade: Fruit jelly can make a delightful glaze for roasted meats or a flavorful marinade for grilled chicken or pork.

d). Cheese Companion: Pair fruit jelly with a variety of cheeses for a delightful contrast of sweet and savory flavors.

e). Dessert Delights: Top off your desserts like ice cream, cheesecake, or yogurt with a spoonful of fruit jelly for an extra layer of flavor.

Health Benefits

Fruit jelly, when made with real fruit, can offer some health benefits too. It's a source of vitamins and antioxidants, and the natural sugars provide a quick energy boost. However, moderation is key as it can also be high in added sugars.

making apple pie again this year, and i didn't wanna just waste all the apple peels so i made apple jelly!

It took well over an hour of reducing to get it to jelly consistency~

I love the color tho! It's like a dark amber~

To make apple jelly:

save peels and cores, put them in a stainless steel pot and fill with enough water to cover.

bring to a boil and redu e till about half the amount of water you put in, is left.

strain the liquid into a measuring cup and take note of how much there is.

return the apple liquid to the pot.

for every 1 cup of apple liquid, add 1/2 a cup of sugar and 1 tablespoon of lemon juice.

return the pot to a boil and reduce the whole mixture down until it's getting syrup-ey.

this is about time you should start ladeling it into a container, as it cools it will thicken.

enjoy! :D
