I'm a bit bummed today because my favorite character on The Wire met his end last night. It wasn't unexpected - the entire season has been about him and things haven't been getting better for him. Good night sweet prince.I MADE JELLY!!!
Actually, it's Cranberry Port Conserve.
Brief rundown: Jelly is strained before canning, so it's clear; Jam isn't clear; Marmalade has a citrus base (not necessarily oranges); and Conserves have nuts.
It was fairly nervewracking - making the conserve and heating the jars at the same time. I ended up overcooking the mixture - which will likely result in a very very firm conserve. In fact, it will probably be best warmed and either used as a glaze or side sauce.
But nothing blew up. The seals worked. I've got shelf-stable preserves - fuck yah!
Please pass the Palaner All Fruit. Does anyone else remember that commercial?
