Hawthorn Berry Jelly Recipe

Looking for a tasty way to include Hawthorn Berries into your daily routine, without adding another supplement in capsule form?

Here's a great recipe for a hawthorn berry jelly, using Whole Organic Hawthorn Berries .





Step 1: Measure 1.5 lbs of raw hawthorn berries to make about 1 jar of jelly.

Step 2: Remove all the stalks, if any.

Step 3: Wash the berries and strain.

Step 4: Add the hawthorn berries to a saucepan and cover with 1.5 cups water.

Step 5: Bring the mixture to a boil, then lower to a simmer.

Step 6: Simmer for an hour, mashing every 15-20 minutes.

Step 7: Use muslin or a jelly bag to strain the mixture. Let drip (don't squeeze) to keep the jelly clear.

Step 8: For every 1 pint of liquid, add 1lb of sugar.

Step 9: Add the juice of 1 fresh lemon.

Step 10: Mix the juice, sugar and lemon in a saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.

Step 11: Bring mixture to a rapid boil, about 10 minutes, until the mixture has a thick consistency.

Step 12: Skim off any foam on top of the mixture and pour into jars.

Enjoy :)
