MARGARITA MIX JELLY
This is a tangy, slightly salty, not-too-sweet jelly that pairs perfectly with pretzel rolls (this is an amazing recipe - http://www.food.com/recipe/bavarian-pretzel-rolls-427399) Getting this to set properly without a lot of sugar was a pain but I finally got the amounts right. Low-sugar pectin worked in place of the powdered and liquid pectin and gelatin but the taste and texture was...odd. Processing cut down on the chunkiness of it but the jelly still tasted off to me so I'm going with this one. Works great, tastes great, perfect for gifts! Makes a small batch. I get about 5 half cup jars (with a little extra to eat right away!)

Tips:
- Use fresh fruits: For the best flavor, use fresh fruits that are in season. You can also use frozen fruits, but be sure to thaw them completely before using.
- Adjust the sugar: The amount of sugar you add to your jelly will depend on your personal preference. If you like your jelly tart, add less sugar. If you like it sweeter, add more sugar.
- Be patient: Making jelly takes time. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with a runny jelly that doesn't set properly.
- Use a candy thermometer: A candy thermometer is a great way to ensure that your jelly reaches the right temperature. Jelly should be cooked to a temperature of 220 degrees Fahrenheit (104 degrees Celsius).
- Let the jelly cool completely: Once the jelly is cooked, let it cool completely before storing it. This will help the jelly to set properly.
Conclusion:
Making jelly is a fun and easy way to enjoy the delicious flavors of fresh fruit. With a little patience and care, you can make delicious jelly that your family and friends will love. Experiment with different fruits and flavors to create your own unique jelly recipes.
