ROWAN JELLY

Written by Simon Mitchell


Continued from page 1

Rowan berries are around from July/August through to November inrepparttar UK and may even stay on a tree until January ifrepparttar 147761 thrushes don't eat them. They are at their best for Rowan Jelly when they have attained full colour but are not yet mushy. They contain varying amounts of tartaric, citric and malic acid dependent on their ripeness. Cut them fromrepparttar 147762 stalks in clusters and remove as much stem as possible before cooking. When made into a jellyrepparttar 147763 fruit becomes quite astringent andrepparttar 147764 tart taste makes a good 'digestif' accompaniment to meats such as venison, cold game or fowl.

Take about 3 pounds of Rowan berries and two pounds of juicy apples. Peel and corerepparttar 147765 apples, slice them and place them to simmer in 2 pints of water for 10 minutes, while you are washing and sortingrepparttar 147766 berries. Addrepparttar 147767 berries and simmer to a pulp. Use a potato masher to help this process if you like. Letrepparttar 147768 mixture cool a bit and then strain it through a jelly bag, leaving it to drip overnight.

Warm about 2 pounds of sugar and stir inrepparttar 147769 liquid mixture and heat to a simmer. I must admit to adding some pectin at this point as I have a problem with runny jams. You can do this and leaverepparttar 147770 apples out for a clear jelly. Add a knob of butter and stir to a rolling boil for a few minutes and put it into sterilised jars and seal. It is a most unusual taste butrepparttar 147771 thing that delights me most about this jelly isrepparttar 147772 fantastic colour.
