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.

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.

Because my parents are having their house renovated (and my dad and brother are both working) our family Thanksgiving plan is "ain't doing nothing"

So I get to show my cooking skills off for my boyfriend's family. They don't usually eat turkey because "they just don't like doing it" (aka they make it dry and flavourless)

So they get to see "Genuinely Excited about cooking a holiday meal" I get to be!

Butter and Sage turkey (I have garden sage and rosemary to put on the inside for flavour) and stuffing - I am SO good at making turkey, it's so easy and so delicious. And I've perfected the "have everything hot and ready to go at the same time" schedule.

We will either slow cook the ham, or we might smoke it if we figure out how to use the smoker. I'm going to do a basic honey mustard glaze because that's usually safe (I did ask his family what they preferred and they were okay with honey mustard)

Sides are all pretty basic: Creamy whipped roasted garlic and herb mashed potatos, baked brussel sprouts, broccoli and garden carrots (my mom got sooo many garden carrots, i have to do something with them), and caesar salad and pickle pasta salad.

Dessert is pumpkin pie and a pineapple cheesecake dessert. Maybe an apple crumble if I feel ambitious, these can all be made/bought ahead.

I love making a big meal for the people I love!!!!!
