How do you make jelly?

Answer 1

You take fruit and make sure you get all of the juices out, you add pectin and sugar. Then get a pressure cooker and put it into jars until it says it is done. Then get it out with tongs (IT WILL BE HOT) and wait for it to set and go cold before putting it away.

Jellies and jams are made by boiling fruit with sugar until the mixture "jells" or thickens.

Many fruits, particular apples, contain enough natural pectin that additional pectin is not needed for jelling. Other fruit needs the addition of pectin, or apple peels which are high in pectin, for a good jell.

Jelly, at least in American cooking, is made of strained fruit juice and sugar so that the end product is clear. Jams are made with crushed fruit, with or without seeds, so that the final product is thick and dense. Jams became popular with home cooks as they made more economical use of fruit with less waste than the clear jellies. Preserves can be a combination of the two techniques, with hole or cut fruit suspended in clear jelly.
