jelly making
Boiling fruit preserves
Jelly making is the process of preparing fruit jelly—boiling fruit juice with sugar and pectin until it sets into a firm, translucent spread.
The term covers both home canning traditions and commercial production: She learned jelly making from her grandmother.
The skill involves timing the gel point precisely, as overcooking produces rubbery results and undercooking leaves syrup.
