Oh my goodness!
This morning, the juice was still a pale pink colour, and not at all clear. It looked like the juice from a pink grapefruit.
I went ahead with the recipe, heating the juice with the equivalent amount of sugar (1 litre of juice, 1 kilo of sugar), and a bit of lemon juice. I heated it gently to help the sugar dissolve, and then suddenly it went clear!
I boiled rapidly to reach setting point, and I now have the most amazing amber coloured jelly! It's quite sharp tasting, so I think my friend Kevin will be happy. It looked very soft set when I potted it, I'm hoping it will increase in firmness as it cools down.
I'm really looking forward to giving my neighbour her half!
