50/50… round 2
Today I re-cooked the batch with 50% red grape juice, 50% white grape juice. I had exactly 8 cups of the jelly left in the fridge to re-jell. The test batch I did worked really well, but just to be complete I tested as I rejelled this larger batch. Again I did the cold spoon test at 5 minutes, and it wasn’t quite jelled enough. I skipped the 10 minutes test and just added 8 Tablespoons of the No Sugar (FruitJell) pectin mixture that was also stored in the fridge. A few minutes later I had the consistency I was looking for.
The second thing I did was re-jell the 2 last no-sugar jelly. To this I added what was left of the 50/50 since that only filled 1/2 a jar. Still I got less than from the 2.5 jars I put in, I got about 1 7/8 jars back out – which means there’s a lot of water boiling off. But maybe now I have a ratio.
