Made a batch for my 80 yr old daddy as he was wanting some watermelon rind preserves and I didn't want to waste the rest of the watermelon. It was a HUGE hit with him. Thank you so much for the recipe! 😍 God bless from north Texas 🙏🏻❤

New subscriber here! Heyfrom Louisiana! My husband just cut open a watermelon 🍉I told him I bet I could make some jelly with it. He said never heard of it before but I’ll bet it’ll be good . So that’s when I decided to go to KZitem to see if anyone had a video on it and you were the one that come up first. Got your recipe wrote down and probably will be making watermelon jelly next week as soon as I get all my supplies ready. I’ve made muscadine jelly before and it was so delicious 😋 I can’t wait to try this. Thank you for making a step by step video on this.

@DownOnTheHomestead
Жыл бұрын
I found this and copied for you. Liquid pectin is added to the cooked fruit and sugar mixture immediately after it is removed from the heat. Powdered pectin is added to the unheated crushed fruit. Liquid and powder pectin cannot be interchanged in a recipe. Also, 2 pouches liquid = 4 Tb or 1 pouch (1.75 oz) powdered pectin. I have never used liquid pectin, only powder. Let me know how it went.

@DownOnTheHomestead

The recipe I use calls for lemon juice. I found this info for you: ~ To set, jam needs the right balance of acid and pectin. High-acid fruits include citrus, cherries, green apples, pineapple, raspberries and plums. If you're using low-acid fruits, such as rhubarb, apricots, peaches and strawberries, you need to add lemon juice. ~ so not sure about watermelon. I guess you can try it but I would probably use the lemon. It's doesn't taste 'lemony' at all. Hope this helps.
