Rosemary Jelly

TOTAL TIME: Prep: 35 min. Process: 10 min. YIELD: 3-1/2 pints.
This deliciously different green jelly gets its flavor from an unusual source: savory rosemary. The herb adds a refreshing zip to the otherwise sweet spread. —Margaret Dumire, Carroll, Ohio

Ingredients

  • 1-1/4 cups boiling water
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh rosemary
  • 3 cups sugar
  • 1/4 cup cider vinegar
  • 1 pouch (3 ounces) liquid fruit pectin
  • 2 to 3 drops green food coloring

Directions

  • 1. In a large saucepan, combine boiling water and rosemary; cover and let stand for 15 minutes. Strain, reserving liquid. If necessary, add water to measure 1-1/4 cups. Return liquid to pan; add sugar and vinegar. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Add pectin, stirring until mixture boils. Boil and stir for 1 minute.
  • 2. Remove from the heat; skim off foam. Add food coloring if desired. Carefully ladle hot mixture into hot half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Remove air bubbles, wipe rims and adjust lids. Process for 10 minutes in a boiling-water canner.
