Coffee Jelly

Directions:

  1. Combine Ingredients:
    • In a large pot, combine the brewed coffee, sugar, and brown sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugars are completely dissolved.
  2. Add Pectin:
    • Once boiling, stir in the powdered pectin. Return to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil hard for 1 minute.
  3. Skim Foam:
    • Remove the pot from heat and skim off any foam with a metal spoon.
  4. Fill Jars:
    • Ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth, and seal with lids and bands.
  5. Process Jars:
    • Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust for altitude if necessary).
  6. Cool and Check Seals:
    • Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool completely on a kitchen towel. Check the seals after 24 hours; the lids should not flex up and down when pressed.
  7. Store:
    • Store any unsealed jars in the refrigerator and use within a few weeks. Sealed jars can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to one year.
