How to Make Homemade Dew Berries Jelly

Male Speaker: My wife told me that I am supposed to take these and put them in here. Female Speaker: Berries. Male Speaker: Yeah, wash are berries drain around. Why do I have to use this little pretty thing for? They were supposed to be made tonight, yes, maybe we'll work harder. Not worse than mashing them up. Female Speaker: Get them all rinsed off first. Male Speaker: I have washed the berries all because I was told to by my wife and it has been a while since either one of us had make jelly. That is just the first picking of the berries, we going to go back in a couple of weeks and gets some more. I don't know how much this is going to make. Okay, we are done. And for filter to get the seeds out, to separate the seeds and the juice, we are using what's called Cheese cloth. I got this at the local store and it is just a - let us say this is one hundred percent bleached cotton cheese cloth. We got two layers of plain cloth. So, this is two layers thick, we took two pieces. Female Speaker: It is actually that four layers thick as it folded up or sliced it up. Male Speaker: Is it? Oh! It's folded up, okay, okay. Alright! Just take berries, that enough to start with them? Female Speaker: Put them all in there. Male Speaker: You think it will hold all over? Female Speaker: Yeah, it will. Male Speaker: Like that? Female Speaker: keep on! Male Speaker: Like that? Female Speaker: And there you go! Male Speaker: Now, there are pieces of berries, go. Ah! So now just mash it. What we have done is this is almost like a dye, you don't want to get it on your counter top or anything because we have got just a piece of splatters and juice over there just a minute ago and it will stain the counter top just within in a few seconds. Just squeezing this cheese cloth and trying to get all the juice out, that we can't. I think I am straining the cheese cloth, the seeds are starting to come through. Well, we have cheated a little bit, we didn't have, quite have enough a berry juice for the recipe to work out, so we added water to it. Then it calls for a lot of sugar. I don't know why it calls for so much sugar. Maybe he asked for having used a recipe. Female Speaker: Okay, stir sugar into prepared juice or fruits. Mix well, Let it stay for ten minutes stir it occasionally. So, we are going to pour this sugar with juice four and a half cups. Male Speaker: Ted, what you are doing? Female Speaker: I am going to come and get you! Yes, I'll get you! Male Speaker: You don't have to boil it or anything right now. Alright, so just let that sit for how long? Female Speaker: Ten Minutes. Male Speaker: Ten minutes, okay. Female Speaker: And then you need to heat it. Male Speaker: Three eighteen, there three nineteen. Then what? Female Speaker: Another pan like this, a big one. Male Speaker: Okay, we have got several and so our food preps are down there, header our meals and other stuff. What? Female Speaker: Hey, here we are going to put, three-forth cup of water. Male Speaker: but we have already added the water. Testing! We added water to the recipe. So you can eliminate that we have already added that end. Female Speaker: No. Male Speaker: Why not? Female Speaker: Because, we have to boil. Got it? Male Speaker: Oh! We are going to boil it first, okay? Female Speaker: Okay. Stir in one box of pectin and three-forth cup of water in a small sauce pan. Well I used the large. Male Speaker: yeah, we are used large sauce pan. Female Speaker: but we can get me a small though. Male Speaker: Alright, that has set for another eight minutes and there are some jars. The first step, we use the sheet wrap here, my cookie sheet. It's all been flatter to set the jars underneath. Use a ladle to scoop the juice out and fill the jars up. For some reason the instructions say to use a ladle instead of this just pouring it in there and now we are going to bring this to boil. We are going to put him into the better water that I have set. How long did it say? Female Speaker: Five minutes. Male Speaker: Five minutes? Female Speaker: We should probably do -- why don't we do an experiment and take some and turn them over like they are gone - weight-page dead and that will also boil some of the seal, because I think the heat. Male Speaker: helps! Female Speaker: Yeah, it helps seal it. Male Speaker: That's we are going to do half and half around. We took four, four like that and then we are going to, we'll turn four upside down, so the heat will be exposed to lid it help seal it all. We got a little bit of an air space in there too and then we are going to take those four, we are going to put it in the boiling water. Female Speaker: Okay, I have being thinking about this when you turn them over like that and then gels come back over, is it not going to be on the bottom? Male Speaker: It will clichély set back down there. Female Speaker: Well it is an experiment, we will see. Male Speaker: And here is the jelly that we just took out of the pot, you got to boil it for a few minutes and increase the temperature inside the jar killing any germs and bacteria. It has been sitting upside down to kill any germs and bacteria that was inside forming that inside of the lid. In a few minutes we will try to bend over which we shouldn't need to do to them too much because they were in boiling water and we are going to put him up in the cabinet and see how they turn out.
