Jelly and Jam Recipe using Honey instead of Sugar
Honey can be used in the making of jelly and jams by using half honey and have sugar in the usual proportions. If you are making gourmet jelly and jam then DO NOT USE any ole honey. Use a premium gourmet honey. Start as usual by boiling the fruit, but with a little less water than when using all sugar. Be sure to cook all the skins in cores until every bit of the jelly substance has been extracted. Now strain as usual. bring strained juice to a boil and boil for 10 minutes. Add the sugar and bring to a boiling point again. Then add the honey and cook until the jelly will set when tested.
Jams using Honey instead of Sugar
Crush the fruit slightly, allow three fourths cup of honey to a cup full of fruit. Add half the honey to the fruit. Stir well and allowed to stand for an hour. Then heat slowly stirring constantly. Boil for 10 minutes or until the fruit is soft. Then add the remainder on the honey, stir well, and cook until the jam was set when tested. Boil rapidly after adding the remainder of the honey.
If the fruit mix looks dry, use your discretion regarding adding a little water, consider the condition of the fruit and remember honey itself is 20% water.
