Cómo preparar Lime Jelly
- Zest the peel of 5 limes using a microplane or fine grater. Set aside.
- Juice 6-8 limes until you obtain ¾ cup of fresh lime juice. Pour into a medium bowl.
- Add 1 cup of water and the reserved lime zest to the lime juice. Stir well to combine.
- Line a medium bowl with 3 layers of damp cheesecloth. Pour the lime mixture into the cheesecloth, gather the edges, and tie securely with kitchen twine.
- Suspend the cheesecloth-lined bag over the bowl and let the mixture drip for 10-15 minutes, gently pressing the bag to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Measure exactly 2 ½ cups of the strained lime juice into a 6-quart saucepan.
- Add 2 ¼ cups of granulated sugar to the saucepan and stir until the sugar dissolves.
- Add a few drops of green food coloring, if desired. Stir gently.
- Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. This is crucial to prevent scorching.
- Stir in the powdered pectin according to package instructions.
- Return the mixture to a full rolling boil and boil exactly for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat and skim off any foam with a spoon.
- Immediately ladle the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving ¼ inch headspace.
- Wipe the jar rims clean, apply lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath for 8 minutes (adjust processing time according to your altitude; consult a canning guide for your specific location).
- Let the jars cool completely. Check the seals. Any jars that didn't seal properly should be refrigerated and used within a few weeks.
