To begin with this recipe, we have to first prepare a few ingredients. You can have damson jelly using 4 ingredients and 11 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Damson Jelly:
- Get 1 kg Damsons
- Prepare 250 ml water
- Make ready 1 lemon
- Take Preserving sugar without added pectin
Instructions to make Damson Jelly:
- Wash fruit and remove any stalks and leaves
- Put damsons, squeezed lemon juice and water in large saucepan and bring to the boil. Cover and simmer for 40 minutes.
- This year I bought a jelly bag (what a treat!) but it is fine to use a clean muslin cloth. Pour the cooked fruit into the jelly bag and suspend over a clean bowl.1.
- My jelly bag is threaded onto 2 wooden spoons balanced on an upsidedown stool. I am sure there are better ways but this works.
- I left it overnight to get every last drop of juice.
- Measure the volume of juice and using jam sugar without pectin, weigh 500gm to a pint of juice
- Put juice and sugar into a large pan over heat and stir to dissolve sugar. Boil rapidly to setting point but take care…. the volume increases and it would be very messy if it boiled over.
- The jelly is ready when a splodge of the fruit and sugar skins over when put on a saucer in the fridge. This photo is not much help I'm afraid.
- Pour the lovely liquid jelly into clean jars and label them. And taste the rich sweet jelly.
