Gaaaaarlic Jelly Recipes

Steps:

• In a food processor or blender, blend the garlic and 1/2 cup of vinegar until smooth. In a 6 to 8 quart saucepan, combine the garlic mixture, remaining 1 1/2 cups vinegar and sugar. Over high heat bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Quickly add the pectin. Return the mixture to a boil and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat.
• Immediately fill five, sterilized half pint jars with the jelly, leaving 1/4-inch head space. Wipe the jar tops and threads clean. Place hot sealing lids on the jars and apply the screw on rings loosely. Process in boiling water in a deep canning pot for 5 minutes. Remove the jars and cool completely. Tighten the jar screw rings to complete the sealing process.

Steps:

• Cut off tops of garlic heads and place each head on a small square of foil set on a baking sheet. Top each head with 1 tsp oil and 1 tsp balsamic. Scrunch foil loosely around garlic heads and roast in a preheated oven until garlic is golden and very soft 45-60 minutes on 400. Let stand until cool. Separate cloves pinching each one to extract garlic. Discard the skins.
• In a medium saucepan, combine garlic, wine, water, white balsamic vinegar, and peppercorns. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Reduce heat and boil gently for 5 minutes. Cover, remove from heat and let steep for 15 minutes.
• Transfer garlic mixture to a dampened jelly bag or a strainer lined with layers of damp cheesecloth. Let drip 30 minutes. Measure 1 2/3 c of garlic juice. If you don't have the required amount add up to 1/4 c dry white wine or water.
• Meanwhile, prepare canner, jars and lids.
• Transfer garlic juice to a large deep saucepan. Stir in lemon juice and sugar. Over high heat, stirring constantly, bring to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down. Stir in pectin. Boil hard, stirring constantly, for 1 minute. Remove from heat and quickly skim off foam.
• Quickly pour hot jelly into hot jars leave 1/4 in head space. Wipe rims and put lids and rings on.
• Place in canner, bring to boil and process 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Sterilize 8 - 8 oz jelly jars and lids.
• Wash and prepare the peppers: destem, de-membrane and deseed if you don't want a very hot tasting jelly.
• In a mini food processor pulse 2/3 of the peppers, and garlic along with all of the juice and zest of the limes.
• The other 1/3 garlic and peppers slice paper thin using a mandolin. (If you don't care about having some pretty sliced garlic and peppers in your jars just add it all to the food processor and skip this step).
• In a heavy pot bring sugar and vinegar to a boil and then add the jalapeno and garlic-lime mixtures. Stirring constantly untill all the sugar is dissolved and continue cooking for 10 minutes, still stirring.
• Stir in the pectin and boil for 1 minute, stir well and then remove from the heat.
• Fill the jars to within 1/4" from the top, wipe the tops and rims clear of any spills and place lids on, and tighten.
• Should set within 24 hours and then they're ready to be enjoyed.

Steps:

• I begin by putting my jars and rings in a big pot of water on the stove and bring to a low boil.
• Leave them boiling slightly till you are ready for them.
• Have your jar flats ready on the counter along with a damp rag to wipe the rims of your jars after filling.
• Put peppers, green pepper, garlic, vinegar and sugar in a large pot and mix well.
• Bring to a boil, stirring often.
• Boil for 5- 6 minutes.
• Remove from heat and add Certo and stir.
• Pour into 1/2 pint jars.
• As soon as you fill a jar wipe the rim, put a flat in the ring and twist onto jar and invert jar on cloth towel to seal (heat from jar, ring and jelly should seal it).
• Leave them on the counter for a while to finish sealing.
• If you notice the peppers settling just give the jar a little shake every once in a while.
• After they have cooled and sealed (you will not be able to push down on the flat at all) you can turn them over and tighten the rings again and you're done!
• **NOTE FROM CHEF** One packet of liquid certo will work just fine, the jelly will "looser". I actually prefer it with one packet myself.

Steps:

• In a kettle stir together well wine, vinegar, garlic, rosemary, and sugar and bring mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin quickly and bring mixture back to a full rolling boil. Boil jelly, stirring constantly, 1 minute and remove kettle from heat.
• Skim off any foam and ladle jelly immediately into jars, filling to within 1/8 inch of top. Wipe rims with dampened cloth and seal jars with liquids.
• Put jars in water-bath canner or on a rack set in a deep kettle. Add enough hot water to cover jars by 2 inches and bring to a boil. Boil jars, covered, 5 minutes and transfer with tongs to a rack. Cool jars completely and store in a cool, dark place.
• To sterilize jars and glasses for pickling and preserving:
• Wash jars in hot suds and rinse in scalding water. Put jars in a kettle and cover with hot water. Bring water to a boil, covered, and boil jars 15 minutes from the time that steam emerges from the kettle. Turn off heat and let jars stand in hot water. Just before they are to be filled invert jars onto a kitchen towel to dry. (Jars should be filled while still hot.) Sterilize jar lids 5 minutes, or according to manufacturer's instructions.

Steps:

• Bring boiling-water canner, half full with water, to simmer. Wash jars and screw bands in hot soapy water; rinse with warm water. Pour boiling water over flat lids in saucepan off the heat. Let stand in hot water until ready to use. Drain jars well before filling.
• Mix wine, garlic, vinegar and rosemary in 6- or 8-qt. saucepot. Stir in sugar. Add butter to reduce foaming. Bring mixture to full rolling boil (a boil that doesn't stop bubbling when stirred) on high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin. Return to full rolling boil and boil exactly 1 min., stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim off any foam with metal spoon.
• Ladle immediately into prepared jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of tops. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with two-piece lids. Screw bands tightly. Place jars on elevated rack in canner. Lower rack into canner. (Water must cover jars by 1 to 2 inches. Add boiling water, if necessary.) Cover; bring water to gentle boil. Process 5 min. Remove jars and place upright on towel to cool completely. After jars cool, check seals by pressing middles of lids with finger. (If lids spring back, lids are not sealed and refrigeration is necessary.)
