Following up our grossly green Fel Eggs and Ham, we have another oddly colored food on our plates–Black Jelly. Sharp and pungent, a little goes a long way so feel free to cut the recipe in half if you’re wary of trying this unusual condiment.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
- 3/4 teaspoon unflavored gelatin
- 3 Tbsp honey
Notes
- Balsamic vinegar can have a bite, so taste the warm jelly before pouring into jars. If it’s too sharp add an additional tablespoon of honey.
- Use the jelly on a thick piece of buttered Spice Bread, but remember–just a little bit!
- Also delicious on toasted raisin cinnamon bread, in case you don’t have Spice Bread handy.
- If you use pretty jars, it makes a great unique gift too. Fest of Winter Veil will be here before we know it!
Directions
- Add vinegar to a small saucepan and sprinkle gelatin over top. Let stand for 10 minutes.
- Heat vinegar over medium-low, stirring often, until gelatin has dissolved and vinegar is warm. This shouldn’t take long. Be sure NOT to boil the vinegar.
- Remove from heat and stir in honey.
- Divide mixture among small jars, ramekins, or even muffin tins. I recommend jars though, for easy storage.
- Chill for at least 8 hours to let set. Keep refrigerated.
