		"Kiwi Jubilee Jelly". The plum peels added a nice rosy hue to that. I mentioned this yesterday, but the basic mix was 15 kiwi and 6 or so each apricots and plums. I simmered that, along with two cups water, until the kiwi went mushy - they were pretty firm to start with, as was all the fruit, but they were the last to soften up and yield their precious bodily fluids. The 5 1/2 cups of liquid to make it through the jelly bag was quite thick. As the BWB begin to make those volcano-like rumblings indicating it was about to boil, I had a quick panic. I didn't want to go out again, not for anything, and there was no pectin in the cupboard. Okay, this stuff seems pretty substantial already - let's try the Pomona's. I mixed up the calcium water just like the directions said, added a bit of lemon juice, and went with just two cups of sugar for the whole batch. Earlier in the day, I had gone over to Dollar General looking for some 8-ounce jelly jars, but they were out. Ugh! I had to pay about 6 bucks for the 4-ouncers, but they're kinda pretty or as one person said "cute". The jelly set real well and on the list of ingredients on the label I put "No shoe polish in here - and that's no shinola!"
