OMG, this jelly is amazing. I ate a half of an 8oz. Jar with a spoon, no toast, biscuits. It taste like lemon head candy, just like you said it would . Thanks for this recipe, and thanks for the shoutout. My sisters loved it too. I’m your number 1 subscriber. Keep those creative juices flowing, and stay safe.

I made this yesterday and it turned out perfect. I did both flip to process (for short term) and water bath process (for longer term). Both worked. I also ran a little short of fresh squeezed lemon juice so I added about 1/4 cup of store bought lemon juice (not from concentrate). It still worked out perfectly. Thank you so much for the wonderful recipe, I will be making this again for sure!

If you are forced to hand squeeze your lemons and they are hard I recommend putting them in the microwave for 5- 10 seconds or rolling them on your countertop with your hand slightly pressing down and that will break up the juice cells making them easier to squeeze.

Do the size of the jars matter? I could only find bigger ones that looks like double the size.

@useful.knowledge 2 жыл бұрын

Hi. Sounds like you got the pint size jars. You can use those for jelly. I just use the smaller ones because of how fast the jelly get eaten. If you have a larger family, the pint size is probably a good idea.

Hi, I am pretty new to making jelly and jams. I followed your recipe and it was great, but, one of the people I gave some to opened theirs and put it in the fridge. When they came back to it a couple days later there was a tiny layer of sugar crystals on top, he used it again and when he went back to it there was alot of crystals on top of it. What did I do wrong or what causes that?

@useful.knowledge 2 жыл бұрын

Hi. Usually that is cooking it too long or too much sugar. When you cooked it to a full rolling boil, did it take a long time to get to boil? I get mine to the full rolling boil quickly because I have a gas cooktop. Also, did you use the regular sure jell?

How long can you store this jelly in the pantry. Most other recipes call for hot water bath for 10 minutes to make them shelf stable. I need to be able to store them for 6-9 months

@useful.knowledge 2 жыл бұрын

Hi. They store just as long as those done with water bath which is about 12 months. The method that I use is the open kettle method which was the recommended method before water bath became recommended sometime in the 1980’s. I was taught this as an child and it all the have ever used for acidic items like jams, jellies, and tomatoes.

When I used the open kettle method for your peach jam, 2 jars didn’t seal, why would that happen?

@useful.knowledge Жыл бұрын

Hi. For the open kettle method, it’s usually because the jelly started to cool before folks get the lids on. You have to work quickly to get the lids on as soon as the heat is removed. OR the top of the jar had some of the jam on it from filling the jar. That’s why I wipe the lip of the jar. Oh one more thing….were you using new jars and lids? Lots of folks are having problems using new jars with the lids that are already placed on the jar. In this case, I use a new box of lids. I hope this helps.

@nancyknott3389 Жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for your speedy reply. It probably was because I didn’t work fast enough- my kids were new

@ruthfields3874 11 ай бұрын

I've just recently watched the video you made on new jars that come with lids. I threw all the lids away kept the rings. When I had looked closely at the lids each of them had deep crevasse on them. 2 were stuck so tight hubby had to get them off. I was surprised but thankful to you I watched that video.

@useful.knowledge 11 ай бұрын

Thanks! I was canning tomatoes yesterday and had to open a new flat of jars. These were the same as you stated. The lids are definitely compromised and I won’t use them. People have too much time and work into their canning to mess around with sketchy lids. Thanks and happy canning!!

@davidoriggan Жыл бұрын

Can you use less sugar? So it's sourer?

@useful.knowledge Жыл бұрын

Hi. Less sugar could potentially cause it not to jell. You could bump the lemon juice up and reduce the water by the same amount. That should make it more sour for you.

Is it necessary to use that much sugar? Seems an awful lot of sugar for only 6 and 3/4 jars of jelly.

Hi. All jelly takes a lot of sugar. You have to get the sugar, juice and pectin ratio correct or it will not gel unless you are using a low sugar pectin. Warning here because low sugar pectin is full of chemicals.
