******** Mrs Lisa's Prickly Pear Jelly Recipe*********
Makes approximately 10 - 8oz jars

5 cups of prickly pear juice (from about 50 fruit)
1/2 cup of lemon or lime juice
1/2 tsp ground ginger (optional)
2 boxes of powdered pectin (we use Pomonas Pectin)
7 cups of sugar

Prepare canning equipment and sterilize jars
Peal the skins off the fruit being careful not to get any thorns in with the fruit.
Cut the fruit in quarters sections.
Place all fruit in a blender and puree to a smooth juice.
Pour the pureed juice into a strainer to remove the seeds allowing the juice to be separated.

Heat the prickly pear fruit juice, lemon juice, and sugar in a large heavy bottom pot.
Bring to a boil.
Cook for 10 minutes stirring constantly.
Sprinkle pectin over fruit mixture.
Stir until dissolved.
Bring to a boil and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly
Bring to a rapid boil and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly
This jelly thickens as it cools, so it will seem pretty loose at this point
Ladle into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4' head space.
Wipe rims thoroughly with a sterile cloth.
Top with sterile lids, tighten cap to finger tightness.
Place in boiling water bath. Bring to a boil and start your timer.
Boil for 15 minutes.

Remove jars from canner, place on a clean dry towel in a draft free area
Cool for at least 12 hours undisturbed.
Refrigerate any jars that did not seal
