[luvmyPBJ]

AWESOME TY!!!

[ruapraia]

Good job Patti !

[MrConstructivecritic]

I did not like the store bought pectin.I want to make it as natural as possible.It look like you were more worried about flirting with the camera.

[dollladie]

Patti, does your jelly recipe have good shelf life? What I mean is, can you store it in your pantry (once sealed), or does it have to be refrigerated? I'm experimenting with some jellies made from wine; i.e., chardonnay, merlot, malbec, etc., for this summer's farmers market - this will be my first venture. Any help will be appreciated!

[Bobster986]

You have a natural garden, then you ruin your jelly by adding Jello poison. WHATS THE POINT????

[SKTPSY]

She doesn't reply? Does she? lol

[davidarchuleta48326]

at least she is skinnier than you

[bryanthcin]

she sure liked sucking that spoon

[BooshgaFilms]

yeh but the difference is i would ride her

not you though

you get none of my penis.

this is actually quite cool though

i wanna try making some.

[shutterbugk8]

Where did you find THAT pureer???? OK im french.... puier?? Not electricy....  Can you tell me where?

[jszurak]

You can make pectin from the rind of citrus fruit or tart apples. This would be the more sustainable approach, store bought pectin will not be a natural as homemade pectin from organic fruits.

Stick lemon skins and membranes in a jelly bag, boil and then squeeze out the pectin. Works great.

[thebronzedago]

Very nice video! I like your style!

[Vivalarachie]

I've actually had a hard time finding natural pectin. I've read that you can make your own liquid pectin with tart, unripe apples, but how would you use that when making jams and jellies? Like, how much liquid pectin to how much juice?

[sailblue10]

Did you just put the blueberries in the frezzer, or did you quick frezze them with dry ice?

[lorena1707]

Thanks for all your wonderful inspiration!

[MatuArt]

it looks like fun.......yum

[mrsengeseth]

Love the video!! How old are your grape vines? Mine are just about 4 years old and aren't producing yet anywhere near your harvest. I hope that it's just a matter of time. The jars look sp oretty with that jelly in them. Great job on another super fun video.

[JGthedirector]

or you could just go to the shops and buy the ingrediants, duh!?

[GardenGirltv]

Try donating some labor to someone who has a garden or signing up for an allotment garden. And the B comment is not nice. You need some manners, I am a real person with real feelings.

[brizzx32]

You didn't explain the the sealing process, like what kind of jars and also why you were putting them into the Pressure cooker. What happens when you place it in the cooker? That kinda of stuff was left out.

[yvell]

@GardenGirltv You are beautiful and smart. You should have your TV show on gardening and recipes.

[Shroomn2hi]

@CelticReject - you can use frozen berries. No need to be so uncouth.

[Coolpix7900]

Do you think Mulberry jam would be good? I was curious as there is a tree at the edge of the property and the berries aren't that bad to eat. Also in the South here people make kudzu blossom jelly it is very good!

[MauriceFlower]

Oh, nice. I am thinking of my dear mummy who did very yummy jam. But she sealed the jars by pooring melted wax(or similar) on top of the jam. I have no recollection of her boiling the jars...

[wgseagal]

nice patty you sure do know how too do alot thats intresting ive never seen anyone make that before learn knew things everyday.thanks

[SinfonianBarelytone]

Looking amazing as always! We never have enough blueberries to make anything out of them, they're too tasty raw. Blackberry and strawberry jelly on the other hand (mostly jam for strawberry), make up 80% of our preserve needs for the year. The other 20% is plum from our tree out back). I've only had store bought a few times, pales in comparison.

Tiny jars though, we do pints and I think we go through two a month for sure. Of course we're a family of 4 and everyone loves PB&J!

Thanks!

[Illchangeitlater]

If you didn't crush all the fruit first and remove the pulp, you wouldn't hve to add pectine. the grapes and the bleuberry's peels have enough pectine and good fiber you just threw away. My jelly doesn't have to be strained like babyfood.

[brokenskyy]

I've heard that you have to boil it down for a couple of hours to use that method. Doesn't that affect the taste and nutrition of the jelly?

[Praxxus55712]

BUT, if she didn't strain off the pulp and peels, she would have "Jam". She was making "Jelly". Jelly is just thickened juice. She could have used the pulp and peels and added a bit of water and made jam though. That would have eliminated all waste. :)

[dipswell]

Nice vids, I live in southern NH and have had limited success with growing grapes, the Concord grape does well but I can't find a good green grape, what kind do you grow?

[chezs006]

that jelly look really good keep up the good work Patti..

[dtadpole]

Nice job! You've inspired me to grow me some grapes for jelly!! Beautiful! :-)

[MonicaLewandowski]

That is great! It looks so good, I've yet to can anything, but I've got all the equipment ready for next seasons harvest of black berries and raspberries and I'm going to plant several currant bushes because they seem to do very well in my climate! Very excited, thanks for sharing Patti!

[crewlla]

what happen didnt get to see this

[proteanview]

I've always wondered what pectin is.

Blueberry-Grape? Sounds delicious.

Love your style.

You have a beautiful garden.

[gardenmagik]
