Ingredients

  • Juice and pulp from jelly-making recipes
  • 1 cup sugar for each cup of tart fruit pulp (1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar for a sweeter pulp)
  • Lemon juice, if pulp is extremely thick

Directions

    • After the juice has been removed for jelly-making, strain the pulp to remove any seeds or lumps. Measure the pulp.
    • Add 1 cup sugar for each cup of tart fruit pulp or 1/2 to 3/4 cup sugar for sweeter fruit pulp.
    • Lemon juice or other fruit juice should be added to extremely thick pulp. If it is too thick, it will burn quickly when cooked.
    • Bring the mixture to a slow boil and simmer, stirring, for at least 10 minutes or until of desired thickness. Seal in sterile jars.
    * Note: Spices and other fruits can be added before cooking for a different taste. When using extremely thick pulp, you may need to add a little water or complimentary fruit juice.
