Scoop this flavorful garlic jelly over cream cheese and serve with crackers for an easy, delicious appetizer. Ingredients:
1/2 cup finely chopped garlic |
2 cups white wine vinegar |
3 cups water |
1 (1 3/4-ounce) package powdered pectin |
5 1/2 cups sugar |
1/4 teaspoon vegetable oil |
2 drops green liquid food coloring (optional) |
Directions:
1. Bring garlic and vinegar to a boil in a 2-quart saucepan; reduce heat, and simmer 15 minutes. Pour into a glass bowl; cover and let stand 24 hours.
2. Pour vinegar mixture through a wire-mesh strainer into a 1-cup glass measuring cup, pressing garlic with the back of a spoon to squeeze out liquid; discard solids.
3. Bring vinegar mixture, 3 cups water, and pectin to a boil in a 5-quart saucepan, stirring constantly. Add sugar; return to a boil, stirring constantly. Add oil; boil, stirring constantly, 2 minutes. Remove from heat, and skim off foam with a metal spoon. Add food coloring, if desired.
4. Pour hot jelly into hot, sterilized jars, filling to 1/4 inch from top; wipe jar rims. Cover at once with metal lids, and screw on bands.
5. Process in boiling-water bath 5 minutes. Use on grilled chicken, pork, and lamb.
