Peach-Pineapple Jelly
4 lbs. peaches,
washed
2 cups pineapple juice
3 cups sugar
1 box Sure Jell (low
sugar recipe)
Directions:
Discard pits (do not peel) and
finely chop peaches.
Place in a large saucepan, adding 1/2 cup of
water.
Bring to a boil and cook until peaches are tender. Drain juice
off through cheesecloth. In large saucepan or heavy boiler, pour your
peach juice and your 2 cups pineapple juice.
In a seperate bowl, add
1/4 cup of your sugar to 1 box of sure jell. Stir this mixture into your
juices. Add 1/2 teaspoon butter or margarine to reduce foaming.
Bring
mixture to a full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when
stirred. Stir constantly.
Stir in remaining sugar quickly. Return to
rolling boil, and boil for 1 minute, continuously stirring.
Remove from
heat, skim off any foam with metal spoon.
Ladle quickly into prepared
jars, filling to within 1/8 inch of top. Wipe jars, rims and threads.
Cover with your lids and bands. Invert jars for 5 minutes, then turn
up-right. After jars cool, check seals by presssing middle of lid with
your finger. If lids spring back, lids are not sealed and refrigeration is
necessary (or place in a hot water bath for about 20 minutes).
Some
jellies and jams take about 2 weeks to set.
Store in a dry cool
place.
Yield: 6 half pint
jars.
Enjoy...........Chefbetty
