Kool-Aid Jelly (Many Flavors) (For Jelly Queen) image

A quick jelly recipe with many flavors, how about Watermelon Kiwi or Arctic Green Apple, Black Cherry, yum, to name a few. You can also make an ice cream topping or syrup. Some Kool Aid flavors will not gel as quickly as others, I don't know why, this is a recent discovery. Use recipe Liquid Cement #151544 to get it to gel if it is still syrupy. I personally think there is some new ingredient in some of the flavors.I use dry pectin and unflavored gelatin. I have never had a problem but I live in a dry cold climate, maybe that effects the gelling.

Time 20m

Yield 12 8 oz. jars

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 (1/4 ounce) packages unsweetened Kool-Aid powdered drink mix, any flavor
6 cups cold water
2 (6 ounce) bottles liquid pectin or 2 (2 ounce) packages dry pectin
2 (1/4 ounce) packages unflavored gelatin
6 cups sugar
1 teaspoon margarine (optional)

Steps:

  • In large stockpot add Kool Aid and cold water.
  • Stir in pectin and unflavored gelatin.
  • Let set five minutes until softened. Then stir and bring to a boil.
  • Add sugar and margarine. Bring to a rolling boil for 2 minutes.
  • Take off the burner, skim.
  • Note:The margarine cuts down the foam.
  • Pour into sterile hot jars.
  • Wipe rims and adjust the seal and bands tightly.
  • Process in a hot water bath in your canner for five minutes. Make sure the water covers the lids.
  • Remove the jars, turn upside down on a rack or cotton towels on the counter.
  • Do not move the jars until cool.
  • This makes 12 8 ounce jars of jelly.
  • I add the Knox unflavored gelatin because my husband likes a firm jelly.
  • I am sure you will be "hooked" with the flavors you can make and the cost is about 45 cents per jar.
  • Some flavors take longer to gel than others.
  • but there is a recipe that works to set or gell the jelly in the description of recipe.
