I was intrigued by the idea of making jelly out of tea when someone posted a request for recipes. I tried this one, and I like it alot. Obviously, it all depends on the quality of your tea. So far I've only tried this with a very high quality organic chai, and it is SO good! If you find a type of tea that works really well for this, post a review and let us know!

Categories     Jellies

Time 30m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup honey
1/8 cup liquid fruit pectin
1/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Heat honey and water to boiling, stirring constantly. Add liquid Fruit pectin and bring back to boil. Allow to cool in jelly jars.

Tips:

  • Use ripe fruit for the best flavor and texture. Overripe fruit can be used, but it may need to be cooked for a shorter amount of time to prevent it from becoming too soft.
  • If you are using frozen fruit, thaw it completely before using. This will help the jelly to set properly.
  • Do not overcook the jelly. Overcooked jelly will be tough and chewy. The jelly is done when it reaches a temperature of 220 degrees Fahrenheit (105 degrees Celsius) or when it sheets off the spoon.
  • Allow the jelly to cool completely before storing it. This will help the jelly to set properly and prevent it from spoiling.
  • Store the jelly in a cool, dark place. Jelly can be stored for up to 1 year in a sealed jar.

Conclusion:

Making jelly is a great way to preserve fruit and enjoy it all year long. With a little practice, you can make delicious jelly that your family and friends will love. So next time you have a bounty of fruit, don't let it go to waste. Make jelly instead!
