Homemade Jelly
I tried to make homemade Mulberry Jelly yesterday. We have mulberry trees in the park and when the birds eat them and then drop their bombs, they are a very offensive purple. So I tried to pick the berries (succeeded here) and boil them (also success) and make jelly (failure). I think I failed for a couple of reasons, but the main one is that the recipe called for 4 pounds of Mulberries. I had a little less that a pound. The result: some sort of disgusting mulberry jelly candy thing. Gross.

at least you did try and that is what counts I guess LUV U GRAMS
Did you use pectin? On Little People, Big World, they used pectin (whatever that is) when they made jelly. Or I guess it was jam. What's the difference? I like the word jam. Miss you!
LJ, you and your advice gleaned from a midget family. I can only dream to have a similar show in the future. Making jam or jelly is a pain in the you know. I siggest trying to bake them into a cake or buckle instead. It's easy and you should need way less than 4 lbs.
Jelly doesn't have any fruit solids in it. Jams do. Now tell me the difference between jam and marmalade, then you'd really wow my socks off.
