🍏 Paradise Jelly Recipe 🍍
| Ingredients | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Cooking Apples | 20 |
| Pineapple | 12 |
| Other Variety Quince | 2 |
| Cranberries | 2 |
| Vanilla Beans | As needed |
| Sugar | As needed |
📜 Instructions:
-
🍏 Begin by thoroughly washing the cooking apples and other variety quince. Remove the stem and blossom ends, then quarter each fruit. Ensure the fruit is free of any bruises, leaving only clean flesh.
-
🍍 Pick over the cranberries, discarding any less than perfect ones. Combine the prepared apples, quince, cranberries, and vanilla beans in a non-aluminum pot. Barely cover the fruits with water and bring to a boil until they are soft.
-
🌋 Strain the boiled mixture through a jelly bag, extracting the luscious liquid. Slice the vanilla beans once lengthwise and place them in a clean pot. Add the strained liquid and gently boil for 12 minutes. Set the beans aside for later use.
-
🌈 Measure the juice, maintaining a ratio of 1 cup juice to 1 cup sugar. Cook no more than 4 cups at a time. Place the measured juice in a clean pot and boil until the jelly sheets from the spoon.
-
🍬 Pour the heavenly jelly into sterilized 1/2 pint jars and seal them to preserve the tropical goodness. Process the sealed jars for 5 minutes in a boiling bath to ensure perfection.
-
🌊 For a little cheat, add more water to the fruit after the first straining. Boil and strain that, combine it with the first liquid, and continue as directed. The abundant natural pectin in the fruit allows for a bit of flexibility.
-
🏆 Whether you’re creating this Paradise Jelly for a fair or your own indulgence, you can’t go wrong. The vanilla beans, after their role in the jelly, can infuse the water for your next batches of refreshing herbal iced tea.
-
🌺 Your tropical paradise in a jar is now ready to be savored! Enjoy the burst of flavors and the warmth of the vanilla embrace in every spoonful.
📝 Note:
-
Cheat Tip: Adding more water after the first straining is optional, offering a convenient shortcut without compromising the taste.
-
Award-Winning Touch: If aiming for the top prize at the fair, consider sticking to the original instructions for an unparalleled Paradise Jelly experience.
