Lime Jelly image

This lime jelly is sweet with bursting lime flavor. I only make this when I can get the limes on sale. Don't use too much food coloring as it will look artificially green. Found this recipe on-line.

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 1/2 cups prepared lime juice (6 to 8 limes)

Steps:

  • Grate the peel of 5 of the limes; set aside.
