Orange Rosemary Jelly
Yesterday morning I made a small batch of orange rosemary jelly for the April installment of the Tigress Can Jam. My kitchen filled with a bright citrusy scent as the jelly began to bubble. I thought to myself, “I am really getting the hang of this whole canning thing.” Then I caught a whiff of something burning. So I gave the pot a quick stir. Everything was fine there. I checked the burner. Nope. Nothing was sizzling on it. Then I looked over to the other side of the stove. The top of my candy thermometer was melting all over the bright red burner.
Doh.
Despite that setback the jelly turned out very pretty. And tasty, too!

Yum! Now I’m craving marmalade, which I’ve never made. Hmmm…something to do in the future!

Tigress–Yes. The rosemary flavor is perfect, subtle but there. You bring the juice and herbs to a boil and then allow them to steep for 30 minutes before straining off the herbs.
Gardenmentor–I haven’t made marmalade either. We should have a little marmalade making party next winter.
Lara–I know! I sort of thought it looked like a sunset.
Beth–The recipe is from Mary Ann Dragan’s book Well Preserved. I followed it exactly.
