Thread: Made Mayhaw Jelly Today

I posted a picture of the Mayhaw juice I collected the other day. Well after all the wine making chores this morning we got to making the Mayhaw Jelly.

9 cups of sugar
7 cups of juice
1 box Sure-Jel
Makes almost 6 pints after skimming the foam.



So if you have ever made jelly it's slow then Nuts & Bolts when the boiling begins.

The procedure is to stir the Sure-Jel into the juice cold then on High Temp bring the juice to a boil that you can't stir down. Add the 9 cups of sugar and return to a good boil. When fully boiling you cook for 1 minute then cut the heat, skim the foam, and start ladling into jars. Once in jars we don't water bath for 10 minutes we just flip the jars over for 5 minutes to melt the gasket seal on the lid. After 5 minutes return the jars upright and allow to cool. You will be hearing the lids Pop randomly till all are sealed.



I have my juice extraction process down so the color of the jelly is Electric.
