How to Make Jelly Frosting

  1. Combine 1 cup of your favorite jelly, 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened, 1 cup powdered sugar, and a pinch of salt in the top of a double boiler.
  2. Place the double boiler over a pan of simmering water. Whisk constantly, ensuring the bottom doesn't scorch, until the mixture is smooth and heated through (about 3-5 minutes).
  3. Remove from heat and beat with an electric mixer on medium speed for 2-3 minutes, or until the frosting is light and fluffy and forms stiff peaks.
  4. Continue beating for an additional 2 minutes, or until the frosting reaches a spreadable consistency.
  5. Frost your favorite 2-layer cake or 24 cupcakes. Enjoy!
