SWEET & TART BASIL JELLY
This jelly is on the tart side. If you'd like it a bit sweeter, increase sugar to six cups. You can use more or less food coloring as you prefer. Basil jelly is a wonderful way to use up some of summer's last basil. Try it with cream cheese. It's so good!

Steps:
- 1. Combine basil leaves, vinegar & lemon juice in a large, nonreactive saucepan for 15 minutes. While basil is mixture is resting, prepare jars.
- 2. Add water and food coloring to basil mixture. Heat until just beginning to boil. Add sugar all at once and stir to dissolve sugar. Bring to a hard boil that cannot be stirred down.
- 3. Quickly add the pectin (I snip open the packets in advance and have them standing in a coffee mug nearby). Return to a hard boil that cannot be stirred down. Boil for one minute.
- 4. Remove from heat. Using a slotted spoon, remove and discard basil leaves. Fill jars and wipe rims. Add lids and tighten to finger-tip tight. Process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
- 5. Remove and set out of direct sunlight for 12 hours. Check jars for seal. Refrigerate or reprocess unsealed jars. Store sealed jars in a dark cupboard. Will keep for one year.

[email protected]I'm not sure what went wrong, but my jelly didn't turn out as thick as I expected. It's still tasty, but it's more like a syrup than a jelly.
