I lost a recipe for Prickly Pear Jelly.....the one I had starts with Prickly
Pear juice rather than with starting with fruits and making the juice I
need this, asap, as I need to make 70 jars prior to Sept. 9th. Thanks.
May you have a blessed day,
Sandy
Hello Sandy,
See below for several.

Prickly Pear Jelly
Ingredients :
1 c. pear juice
1 c. sugar
1/3 c. lemon juice
1/2 bottle Certo
Preparation :
Combine juice and sugar. Place over high heat and bring to a full
boil, stirring constantly. Add Certo, boil for 1 minute. Pour in
sterilized jars or glasses and seal

Prickly Pear Jelly
Ingredients :
1 (12 oz.) can apple juice concentrate
2 (12 oz.) cans of water
1 (32 oz.) prickley pear juice
1 (7 1/2 oz.) bottle pure lemon juice
1 sm. pkt. of Sure Jell
5 lbs. cane or beet sugar
Preparation :
Use a large kettle or steamer. Bring to a boil and let sit for 30
minutes over medium heat. A pinkish-green froth will form around
the sides and this must be skimmed off. C learing froth will result
in sparkling clear jelly. Add small packet of Sure Jell and let
dissolve. Stir occasionally. Add 5 lbs. of cane or beet sugar.
Bring to a rolling boil for at least 3 minutes. Watch constantly so
that the liquid doesn't boil over. Have 7 pint jars and lids
sterilized and ready. Skim again and scoop the hot liquid into the
waiting jars. Cover and invert while cooling.

Beautiful garnet color - with a distinct, delicious taste.
Strain juice through cheesecloth. Combine ingredients in a 5
quart pan: Bring to a boil - add 4 1/2 cup sugar - bring to a boil
again and boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat,
skim the froth off for nice clear jelly. Pour into jelly glasses
and seal with melted paraffin. Should set in a couple of days - if
not may need to be reboiled.
