Boysenberry Milkshake Recipes

MCP BOYSENBERRY FREEZER JAM

Steps:

• Rinse clean plastic containers and lids with boiling water. Dry thoroughly.
• Crush boysenberries thoroughly, one layer at a time. Sieve half of the berries to remove seeds, if desired. Measure exactly 3 cups prepared fruit into large bowl. Add lemon juice; mix well.
• Stir pectin into prepared fruit in bowl. Let stand 30 min., stirring every 5 min. Gradually add sugar, stirring after each addition until well blended. Stir additional 3 min. or until most of the sugar is dissolved and no longer grainy. (A few sugar crystals may remain.)
• Fill all containers immediately to within 1/2 inch of tops. Wipe off top edges of containers; immediately cover with lids. Let stand at room temperature 24 hours. Jam is now ready to use. Store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks or freeze extra containers up to 1 year. If frozen, thaw in refrigerator before using.

BOYSENBERRY JELLY

Steps:

• Inspect four 32-ounce jars for cracks and rings for rust, discarding any defective ones. Immerse in simmering water until jelly is ready. Wash new, unused lids and rings in warm soapy water.
• Crush boysenberries in a large bowl with the back of a spoon or a potato masher. Add crushed fruit into a sieve or cheesecloth set over a bowl and let juices drip into the bowl until dripping stops. Press gently to get as much juice out of the berries as possible. Measure 4 cups of juice into a large pot. If necessary, add up to 1/2 cup of water to get the exact amount of juice.
• Stir sugar into the juice and butter to reduce foaming.
• Bring mixture to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin quickly. Return to a full boil and boil exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat.
• Skim off any foam with metal spoon. Ladle quickly into prepared jars, filling within 1/8 inch of tops.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water to cover jars by at least 1 inch. Bring to a rolling boil, cover, and process for 5 minutes.
• Remove jars from water and cool. Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours.
