1810 West Inn Pyracantha Jelly

List of Ingredients




from the 1810 West Inn Thomson, Georgia

Heritage Recipe





2-1/2 to 3 pints Pyracantha berries
3-1/2 cups water
1 grapefruit (I use pink for color)
1 lime
1 package pectin
5-1/2 cups sugar



Recipe



Pick berries (October when ripe), wash well. Place in water and boil, covered, about 20 minutes. Strain. Add juice from grapefruit and lime to make 4-1/2 cups juice. Add
pectin and bring to a hard boil. Add sugar. Boil hard 2 to 4 minutes until jelly drops from spoon. Pour into hot jars and seal.

You can add a few drops of red food coloring after the sugar, if not pink enough. I test the jelly the old-fashioned way - drop a fork in the boiling juice and when it stays
between the tines of the fork, it is ready.
