Say Goodbye to Red Pepper Jelly! This is a wonderful Jelly to spread on crackers with cream cheese... just as you would Red Pepper Jelly. Also wonderful when paired with cheeses (Brie and Cheddar are both good picks). Ingredients:
9 cups blackberries (fresh or frozen) |
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar |
3 -4 teaspoons crushed red pepper flakes (dried) |
1 (1 3/4 ounce) package dry pectin |
5 cups sugar |
Directions:
1. Wash, stem, drain, and crush berries. Drip through jelly bag or cheesecloth-lined sieve to equal 3 cups blackberry juice.
2. Combine blackberry juice and vinegar in a large pot. Add Red Pepper Flakes, Dry Pectin and Sugar. Stirring to mix well.
3. Stirring constantly, bring to a rolling boil and boil 1 minute (Be Careful! A rolling boil can not be stirred down).
4. Remove jelly from heat.
5. Skim off bubbles. Ladle jelly into hot, sterilized containers, one at a time. Fill to within 1/8 inch of top if using self-sealing lids. Fill to within 1/2 inch of top is sealing with paraffin. Wipe rim of jar or glass with a clean damp cloth.
