Fruit Jelly Fallen from the Branch Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups freshly fallen fruit (such as apples, pears, plums, or apricots)
• 1/4 cup water
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 1 packet gelatin

Instructions:

1. Wash the fruit and remove any stems or leaves. Cut away any bruised or damaged parts.
2. Place the fruit in a saucepan with 1/4 cup water.
3. Cover and cook over medium heat until the fruit is soft and cooked through, about 15-20 minutes.
4. Puree the fruit in a blender or food processor until smooth.
5. Strain the fruit puree through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any seeds or pulp.
6. Return the strained puree to the saucepan and add the sugar and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved, about 5-7 minutes.
7. In a small bowl, sprinkle the gelatin over 1/4 cup cold water and let it sit for 1-2 minutes to soften.
8. Add the softened gelatin to the fruit mixture and stir until it has dissolved completely.
9. Pour the mixture into a mold or small glass dishes.
10. Refrigerate until set, at least 2-3 hours or overnight for best results.
11. To serve, unmold the jelly onto a plate or serve in the glass dishes.

This fruit jelly fallen from the branch recipe is a perfect way to use up fallen fruit from your backyard trees. It’s easy to make and has a natural sweetness that’s hard to resist.
