No Sugar Muscadine Jelly Recipes

THREE RECIPES FOR SUGAR-FREE HOMEMADE JELLY

Steps:

• First, peel and crush the kiwis in a medium bowl.
• Then, pour the lemon juice and stevia into a pot over medium heat and add the kiwi.
• Next, in a separate pot, mix the gelatin and a little water. Let it cool a little and pour it in the pot with the kiwi.
• Then, add honey and a few tablespoons of water so it doesn't get too thick. Wait for it to boil, and remove it from the heat.
• Finally, let the jam cool down, and put it in a class container.
• Refrigerate it for at least an hour, and serve it with whatever you want.

NO-SUGAR HOMEMADE JAM

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the blackberries, peach, and lemon juice and zest, if using (or substitute fruit of choice, amount directed below). As the mixture begins to boil, mash the fruit with the back of a fork until it breaks down. This should take 5 minutes, give or take a few minutes depending on the type of fruit used. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in the honey, starting with 1 to 2 tablespoons. Taste, and add more honey (or sweetener of choice) to your liking. Add the chia seeds and stir to incorporate. Let the jam set for about 5 minutes to thicken. Cool and transfer to a jar or air-tight container and refrigerate. The jam will keep for approximately 2 weeks in the fridge and may be frozen.

MUSCADINE JELLY

Steps:

• Wash muscadines and place in a stockpot. Just barely cover with water and bring to a boil for about 25 minutes. Stirring every few minutes.
• Once the Muscadines have finished boiling, strain to get your juice.
• Add juice and pectin to a pot and bring to a rolling boil, one that can not be stirred down. After it comes to a boil add sugar and butter (this keeps it from foaming up as much.) Allow to come back up to a boil and boil for 1 minute.
• To make sure your jelly will be the right consistency, keep a spoon in ice water while preparing the jelly. When you are ready to test just shake the water off of the spoon and dip out about half a spoon full of jelly. Allow to cool for a few minutes. If it sets up on the spoon you should be good to go.
• Can/ Preserve using desired method or refrigerate for immediate use.
• The yield for 1/2 gallon should be around 9 cups.

MUSCADINE JAM

Steps:

• Inspect four 8-ounce jars (or two 16-ounce jars) for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jam is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water. Place a couple of small plates in the freezer.
• Wash grapes and cut in half. Combine grapes and sugar in a large pot over medium heat and bring to a boil. Maintain a medium to low boil, and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring often to prevent sticking; make sure it does not get too hot.
• Check doneness by dropping a small spoonful of jam onto a frozen plate. Let sit for 1 to 2 minutes; if jam appears to gel, it is ready. Continue cooking if jam appears thin and runny.
• Transfer a portion of the jam mixture to a blender; puree until all hulls and seeds are ground. Set pureed jam in a pot to keep warm, and continue with remaining mixture.
• Pack pureed jam into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1/4 inch of the top. Run a clean knife or thin spatula around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Wipe rims with a moist paper towel to remove any residue. Top with lids and screw rings on tightly.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 5 to 10 minutes.
• Remove from water and set aside until the entire canning jar cools and you hear the "pop" of the can sealing, at least 1 hour. Store and enjoy at your leisure!
