SOUR CHERRY LAVENDER JELLY



Sour Cherry Lavender Jelly image

Depending on what type of culinary lavender you use, 1 teaspoon can already give the jelly a pretty intense flavor, so be careful not to add to much.

Provided by nch

Categories     Jams and Jellies

Time P1DT15m

Yield 40

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 ½ cups white sugar, divided
1 teaspoon dried lavender blossoms
4 ½ cups homemade sour cherry juice
½ cup water
1 (1.75 ounce) package fruit pectin (such as Sure-Jell® Pectin Light for less or no sugar)
4 sprigs lavender, dry

Steps:

  • Inspect 4 small canning jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
  • Combine 1/2 cup sugar and lavender blossoms in the bowl of a food processor; pulse until lavender blossoms are finely chopped and sugar has a light lavender fragrance. Mix fragrant sugar and cherry juice together in a bowl and stir to dissolve. Strain out larger lavender bits through a fine sieve into a large pot. Stir in pectin.
  • Slowly bring cherry juice mixture to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat that does not stop bubbling when stirred. Stir in remaining sugar and return to full rolling boil. Boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
  • Ladle jelly immediately into prepared jars and add a small lavender sprig to each glass, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any spills. Top with lids and tightly screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the stockpot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart. Let rest for 24 hours without moving the jars. Gently press the center of each lid with a finger to ensure the lid does not move up or down. Remove the rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

CHERRY JELLY



Cherry Jelly image

Sweet or sour cherries can be used. I used sour because that is what grows on our tree. Got this off the internet and altered it somewhat. No need to pit all those cherries. This one is easy! Time to make does not include time for water to boil in water bath canner.

RED SOUR CHERRY JELLY



RED SOUR CHERRY JELLY image

For Dwight. My neighbor has a red sour cherry tree so I froze several packs in my freezer. I'll try this myself. I made a cobbler when they were fresh but now they are frozen. They should be fine to make jelly. I ate them off the tree when they were ripe. We'll see how this works out. If this looks familiar let me know.

Provided by Jewel Hall

Categories     Jams & Jellies

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 4

4 lb red sour cherries
1/2 c water, cold
7 c sugar
1 box surejell

Steps:

  • 1. Wash, stem and mash cherries without crushing them. Add 1/2 cup of water. Heat to boiling; cover and simmer 10 minutes. Strain cherries through a cheese cloth. tie cheese cloth to handle on kitchen sink securely with a big plastic bowl under it.Let the bag drip all night. Don't squeeze cherries it will make juice too cloudy. There should be 3.5 cups of juice.
  • 2. Use 2 cups of sugar to 1 cup of juice in a large stainless steel pot. I use my big pressure cooker. Stir well and heat quickly to a rolling boil for 1 minute, add sure jell; stir well and let it come to another rolling bowl for 1 minute. Take off eye and quickly pour into hot, sterilized pint glass jars,.Add thin layer of paraffin on top of jelly. Place Lids and rings on sterilized jars, tight enough to secure. Sit pints on a folded towel until they are sealed and completely cooled.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, ripe sour cherries for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh sour cherries, you can use frozen or dried sour cherries.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the jelly by dropping a small amount onto a cold plate. If the jelly wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it is ready.
  • Be careful not to overcook the jelly, or it will become tough and chewy.
  • Store the jelly in a cool, dark place for up to a year.

Conclusion:

Sour cherry lavender jelly is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be used in a variety of ways. It is perfect for spreading on toast, scones, or pancakes. It can also be used as a glaze for chicken or fish, or as a filling for pies and tarts. The sour cherry and lavender flavors pair perfectly together, creating a unique and flavorful jelly that is sure to impress your friends and family.
