Secret Southern Marmalade

List of Ingredients






2 c finely-chopped cucumbers
4 c granulated sugar
1/2 cup of lime juice (or lemon, but lime's better)
2 T grated lime peel (if necessary, lemon will serve)
1/2 bottle liquid fruit pectin
whatever coloring you fancy: beet juice, blueberry juice



Recipe



In big saucepan combine cucumbers, sugar, juice and peel. Mix well, add coloring, boil one minute over high heat, stirring constantly. Remove from stove, stir in pectin. Skim off foam, stir and skim 5 minutes to cool a bit. Ladle quickly into jelly glasses and cover with 1/8 inch hot paraffin.
Makes about five jelly glasses.

This is good on hot biscuits and muffins.
