If you want the jalepeno variety, which is quite good, add 4 peppers without the seeds and membrane diced up. That will give it a bit of spicy and flavor but not hot. <br /><br />Pomegranate Jelly Recipe<br /><br />Ingredients<br /><br />4 cups pomegranate juice<br />1/4 cup lemon juice<br />1 package powdered pectin<br />5 cups white cane sugar<br />You'll also need:<br /><br />6-7 Eight ounce canning jars<br />Method<br /><br />1 Make the Juice. There are two basic ways to make pomegranate juice from fresh pomegranates. The first is to cut open a pomegranate and submerge it in a large bowl filled with water. Remove the seeds underwater; they will sink to the bottom while the white membrane holding them together will float. Discard the peel and membranes. Strain the seeds and put them in a blender. Pulse the blender only a few times so that the seeds are broken up. Place a mesh strainer over a bowl and pour the seed mixture through the strainer. Use a rubber spatula to help press the pulp against the strainer as to extract as much juice as possible.<br /><br /><br />2 Prepare canning jars. Seep the clean, empty canning jars in boiling water for several minutes. Boil a few cups of water in a separate kettle and pour over the lids in a small bowl to sterilize.<br /><br />3 Measure pomegranate juice and lemon juice in a 6-quart pan. Add pectin, stir and place over high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly to prevent scorching. Reach a full rolling boil, that cannot be stirred down, and add sugar. Boil hard for exactly 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Let stand for a minute and skim off foam.<br /><br />4 Fill jars to 1/2" of the top. Wipe rims clean. Screw on 2-piece lids.<br /><br />5 Finish canning. This step you need to take if you plan to keep the jelly unrefrigerated. Place the jelly jars, not touching, on a rack in a tall pot of boiling water. The water should cover the top of the jars by at least an inch. Boil for 5 minutes and then remove from the water. Let the jars cool. Check seals, the lids should be sucked down (you'll hear a popping noise as the jelly cools). Once the jars reach room temperature, put them in the refrigerator for a few hours to complete the jellying. Lasts about 3 weeks once opened.Mr. W.noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-822807868347854914.post-66401098077087165432012-01-04T16:36:10.537-08:002012-01-04T16:36:10.537-08:00I can see why the cat gets stepped on. ;-)
