Jellies can be eaten as jams but are often a great accompaniment with meat dishes. Redcurrant or mint jelly with lamb, cranberry jelly with turkey etc
The process of making jellies is very similar to that of jams except there is the additional stage, after the initial boiling of the fruit, that of straining the fruit pulp through a jelly bag.
Jelly bags are usually made of nylon or cotton and fairly easy to find. We found a useful frame that holds the bag above a bowl. You can’t really suspend the bag overnight holding it in your hands!
Alternatively you need to improvise some sort of frame to suspend the bag from. Coathanger wire may be stiff enough to hold the bag and flexible enough to shape. Don’t squeeze the bag to hasten the process as this tends to make the final jelly cloudy.
The ‘perfect’ jelly should be bright and clear. Pay attention to the straining and never push the pulp through or your jelly will be cloudy.
