Beach Plum Jelly Recipe Food Fun and Facts
Beach Plum Jelly Recipe Ingredients: Collect
beach plums
that are red and green (not fully ripe) Wash..Place washed beach
plums in large pot, barely covering them with water. Cook on low
heat until fruit is soft and liquid is somewhat
reduced.
Strain, without squeezing, using a jelly bag. Boil six cups
of this jelly stock for 5 minutes and then add six cups of sugar.
Stir only until sugar is dissolved. Boil vigorously until a small
quantity jells on a saucer. Skin off any sugar scum. Pour into
hot
sterilized jars and seal. Never, oh never, make this jelly on any but a
clear, fine day. No pectin needed for this recipe.
Unfortunately,
the recipe does not say
how many beach
plums
needed. What I would do is use sugar equal to 1/2 of the
beachplums.
(1 cup sugar to 2 cups plums) Get as many beach plums as you can.
You may have to 1/2 this recipe, because it is becoming hard
to find these great fruits. I would recommend this recipe for
experienced
jelly and jam makers only.. However, if you are willing to learn
by trial and error, this one is for you.. Back to Jams and Jellies More Recipes
