Sometimes a gal just needs to spoil herself with some flowers I was working outside and couldn’t resist cutting a little something for my #balljarbouquet . And hopefully within the next week we will start having enough flowers for the farm stand!

#AD : I decided to celebrate @BallCanning 135th Anniversary by modernizing/"millennial-zing" a family canning tradition I learned watching my maternal grandfather enjoy.

I made Peony Jelly! It’s like other flower jelly in that you boil the petals in water, steep overnight, drain & discard the petals, & cook the liquid with lemon juice, sugar, pectin. Oh, and remove all ants before beginning! You can pick the peonies right before they turn brown. So it’s a good way to make use of flowers that don’t seem to last very long. If you have pink peonies, you’ll end up with a lovely pink jelly. I have white peonies, so it looked like someone peed in my jars. For one jar, I added a drop of red food coloring. .
I used Pomona’s Pectin. This is a special pectin that comes with a calcium powder & pectin. It allows you to use much less sugar than regular pectin (like 3/4 c sugar versus 2-3 c). I’m not that experienced with this pectin. I made jam with it a few times & it has a more firm consistency. Someone recommended that I slightly undercook it to avoid the firm texture. I used 3/4 cup of sugar in total, so my jelly is not overly sweet. That’s good because I don’t like super sweet stuff. .
So what does it taste like? I read that peony jelly tasted like a mix of strawberry & peach jelly. @woodsygolightly made a beautiful pink batch & said hers tasted like watermelon. I found mine to taste pretty much like how peonies smell with a touch of lemon, ha! Perhaps if I had used more sugar it would’ve masked the strong floral taste. If I make this again, I will add more sugar or try a white grape juice concentrate for the sweetener.

Black beans are harvested for the year! It’s a small thing and dried beans are by no means expensive, but it’s one less thing that we need to rely on others for. So happy to be providing for ourselves more and more. ❤️ .
