Mixed up World of Mixed Fruit Jelly

Most people have no idea what Mixed Fruit Jelly is made from. All they know is it tastes good.


Now I hope you are ready to cook. You have picked exactly the combination you want first. While we are getting ready, why don’t you have the next pick ready. It really doesn’t take that much longer to make two batches.

Apple/Plum Mixed Fruit Jelly

3 1/2 cups apple juice

3 1/2 cups plum juice

9 cups sugar

2 teaspoons lemon juice

1 box pectin

This is the instructions for cooking all the different type of Mixed Fruit jellies.

Combine all juices with pectin in a cooking pot. Bring to a boil, boil for 1 minute. Add sugar. Continue stirring and bring back to boil. Boil for 1 minute. Remove from heat. Let set for a couple of minutes. Skim the foam off the top. Carefully ladle into prepared jars. Clean the rims with a wet paper towel. Place sterile domes then rings on top. Finger tighten (not too tight, but tight enough so they don’t leak in the water bath). Put all jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Remove and let sit over night. Next morning check for unsealed jars. They have to be reprocessed with a new dome. The other jars are ready to eat, display or give as gifts.

Use your other juices and make what ever type of mixed fruit jelly you want. The choice is yours. Make White Grape/Apple or Purple Grape/Apple. Why not something else like Peach/Mango Mixed Fruit jelly? Mary Lynn made Strawberry/Apple jelly and it was a huge favorite. Everybody likes Strawberry Jam and who doesn’t like Apple Jelly.

To get strawberry juice bring to a boil 2 cups water and 6 cups crushed fruit. Simmer for about 5 minutes. Let cool then strain thru muslin. You now have strawberry juice to make jelly with.

While we have brought up strawberry juice, why not mix strawberry/ mango as a mixed fruit.

The tastes are nothing alike. That is why you should make the jelly that you and your family want to eat.You see all the different ways to go. You can do anything you want or your family wants. The first thing I want you to do is taste your jelly and then taste one of the little packages that you got from the Waffle House or the drive thru at your mcfavorite restaurant.

There are so many things to pick from to make your favorite.
