I did make a coupla batches of garlic jelly one year. But then I got sugar
intolerant & ya can only add so much to bbq sauces, roast glazes, stir frys,
etc. Pretty well received by friends & family tho. The garlic recipe was not
garlicky enuf for me. It mellows out considerable in the cooking & the sweet.
Might wanta consider using No Sugar Needed pectin (one can add up to 3 cups of
sugar anyway) and use 1/2 to 1 cup of sugar. That level of sweetness is nice
for me in the latest batch of cherry jam. The regular jelly recipes are *very*
sweet IMO.
Are you keeping a canning journal/notebook? I've found mine to be
invaluable, especially with batches of beef jerky where I juggle the
ingredients constantly.

Pretty sure I can find a recipe, Judith. I've made Horseradish Jelly to
great acclaim by my sister's neighbor. Roast Beast Sandwich.

Oooh! Horseradish Jelly? Can you post the recipe? Pretty please?

No kidding! I did a couple batches of garlic jelly a few years ago
too, and I tell ya, it was so sweet! Infact, eventually there were
crystalized chunks of sugar in the bottoms of the jars. Yuck! I'd
like to know if anyone has found a better recipe, with a more garlic
less sweet taste.
This year's experiment will be basil jelly.......

Cooked about 8 pounds of thinly sliced onions on low heat until
browned (like an hour or more) with no fat. Added a bit of white wine
to deglaze the pan and finished it with water and (a lot of) sugar to
the gelling point (I actually took it to 222°F as I always do) and
bottled it. BWB for 15.
Luscious. Gave most as gifts.

Run some garlic thorough the meat grinder with a small plate. Add it
with about a minute to go in the cooking. It'll be stronger and the
little pieces are pretty.

Do it like any infused jelly. I made a basil jelly from an infusion a
few years ago that was wonderful. Let me restate that. It tasted
wonderful. It was the same color as a jeep on M*A*S*H...
Tried a bunch of other herbal flavors like orange-rosemary,
apple-parsley, sage (from a sage tea, with salt, sugar and pectin) and
a few others I can't recall. My biggest problem was to figure out what
to serve them with. Every one works well with cream cheese as a spread
or dip. Glazed birds with them on their way out of the oven. Salad
dressings.

Just like mint jelly -- smash the herbs, make the infusion, strain, and
do the pectin thang. My Purple Basil Jelly won first place in 1999 and
second in 2000 and 2001 at our State Fair. A friend from r.f.cooking
loves it on a peanut butter sandwich. Go figure. I don't eat the stuff
myself.

One year I made nectarine jam and stirred in chiffonaded basil leaves
right before I bottled it. Not everyone liked it, but many (including
me) thought it was really good.

I do a rose petal jam that 's kind of similar.
Instead of discarding the petals after the infusion, I keep them in even
though at this point the petals are a non-descript grey colour. When I add
the lemon juice the petals return to the wonderful almost magenta colour!
Then I finish the recipe and voila! A flavour that's a cross between the
fragrance of roses and raspberries and tastes the same.
Note: the recipe I use is one that comes with liquid pectin (in this case
Certo) and was origionally written for mint jelly. I modified it only to
incorporate the petals and when measuring out the liquid I remove the petals
first. After obtaining the correct amount of liquid then I add the petals
back to the recipe. I've seen the petals in stores that sell rose petal
jelly and the petals were always added.
The other thing I do is add a bit more liquid than the recipe calls for and
then simmer to reduce thus intensifying the flavour through reduction.
..and I use wild rose (rosa rugosa). Fabulous! <g>

More than enough. Depends, I suppose, on how big the roots are, Silly
Boy! I use shredded&chopped, no cream addition or anything. Just
plain. Note: Sister's neighbor who loved this stuff didn't think it
was very strong. Like I've said, I don't eat this stuff, I just make it.
Did up 8 half-pint jars of plain ol' apricot butter this morning,
between laundry loads. A fabulous day here today for doing darned near
anything. Next anything I'm contemplating is a nap in the back yard to
get some sun on my bod. It could happen. Unless I just bring my book
to the bed and crap out there.
Great minds and all that you know. I took about a 30 minute power nap
while some stuff was processing before cooking and canning. Me and the
dawg flaked out on the bed and Miz Anne fiddled around in her art room.
Another three or four tons of "stuff" taken out of that room and we will
be able to lay the laminate floor in there. I might need to rent a 20
cubic yard dumpster for her. Wimmen and their stuff! And she has the
nerve to complain about my canning stuff.

Yeah, but you've just got stuff. She's got tools. Equipment.
Supplies. That's different. :-) Give her a hey from me.
Horseradish size. :)

Ah, OK. So I can just shred it as for a horseradish marmalade....

Yar, does look like it's awfully sweet, but can't mess around with that
because it'll throw the gel off, right. Sigh.
> Did up 8 half-pint jars of plain ol' apricot butter this morning,

I've got about 2-1/2 gallons of puree to deal with. This is going to
have be accomplished in batches. I know. You hate me.
> Unless I just bring my book to the bed and crap out there.
I'm glad I'm not channeling Gertrude Stein today.

Today I put up 23 half pints & 6 pints of them famous red wine pickled b**ts.
Chopped, cleaned, etc. about a bushel of other fresh veggies for the mixed
"winter" pickle with cauliflower that I posted a while ago. That one is very
popular at the market. I added leetle teeny corns that are a hit with the
kids. I made ol'Whiskerface breakfast, lunch and supper he has the noive to
complain about piles of jars. Okay, piles and piles and piles, but all in
boxes properly labled. Mostly. Do I complain about his piles of tools?

I made rosepetal conserve earlier this year from an Elizabethan recipe:
the petals are cooked with the minimum amount of water and go as grey as
floor-rags. Add the sugar and the whole lot gradually goes purple/red
depending on the colour of the rose petals used. No pectin, nothing save
rosepetals (ok, a few pollen grains as well), water and sugar. It
crystallizes in the jar and looks almost like amethyst, with light
glittering on the sugar. It tastes and smells amazing -- I used old moss
roses, very strongly scented.
