Note: After you have scrubbed your beets to death to free from dirt and sand I strain the juice twice in a coffee filter and the juice is clear and good. Do not peel your beets.
I made this the first time 7 years ago and my nephew came in and was hungry so gave him a peanut butter and beet jelly sandwich fresh made jelly and he loved it and asked what kind it was and my sister and I both looked at each other and said guess. It can be what ever you want it to be. He would have never eaten it again if he had known it was beet jelly. I still label it Guess Jelly. |
