Making Jelly From Juice? |
|
|
I was given several free bottles of Juicy juice with no sugar added and was wondering if I can make jelly for Christmas gifts, any recipes? I do have 3 boxes of surejell ready for use also. I have made jelly from fresh fruit but never from bottled juice. Please help! I am currently unemployed and money is tight but I still want to give some gifts of LOVE. All help will be appreciated.

I would like to thank everyone who responded to my question. I have since just tried my own recipe and the one I came up with was pretty good. I am new at writing recipes but here it is none-the-less.
The ingredients I used are: 1-46 oz. bottled juice * 1 Box sure-jell pectin * 1-Tb.+ 1-tsp. lemon juice * 8 1/2 cups sugar * 1/2 tsp. margarine
Take one 46 oz. jar of any juice & put on medium high heat till starts to boil. Add all the lemon juice ( I used bottled).Bring to a rolling boil stirring occasionally. Then pour in one box of Sure-jell pectin and the margarine and Stir often to prevent sticking. In seperate bowl measure out 8 1/2 cups sugar, and set aside. When the juice comes to a full and constant rolling boil, add sugar all at once. Stir to dissove the sugar and stir very often untill it comes back to a full rolling boil that can't be stirred down. Then time for ONE MINUTE stirring constantly. After one minute take off stove & fill 6-12 oz. jelly jars and put in water bath for 10 minutes.
I made this jelly a few days ago and so far it looks fine and has set to a medium firm stage.
Feel free to use this recipe...and hope for the best. Your results may be different than mine. I know my friends and family will enjoy it...The samples I took from each batch I made tasted great.

Try this link: http://www.hillbillyhousewife.com/grapejelly.htm I've made jelly from this recipe and it turned out really well.

Here's a thrifty hint I learned from a friend. When you peel apples for pies or whatever, scrub them really good first, then put all the peels and the cores into a large pan (minus any bad spots, of course). Cover with water (careful not to use too much) and put on to cook. Once it comes to a boil, lower heat and simmer for a couple of hours. Strain, throw out the peels, and use the "juice" to make apple jelly.

I'm sure you can use most juices. Several years ago I made grape jelly from grape juice and it was the easiest jelly I ever made. Your Sure-Jell will give you the measurements and directions. It's a lovely idea and I'm sure your recipients will be pleased. Merry Christmas!!

Have you looked in the boxes of sure jell for instructions? When I wanted to make pepper jelly I looked all over for a recipe to do it and there was a recipe right in the box.
