MARGARITA JELLY

Steps:

• Prepare jars and lids and canning bath according to safe canning practices.
• In a large stainless steel stockpot, combine water, lime juice, tequila, Triple Sec and sugar. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until sugar is completely dissolved.
• Increase heat to medium-high and bring to full boil, stirring constantly. Stir in Pectin (and lime zest if using). Return to a full boil, stirring constantly for 1 minute. (Use a timer.).
• Remove pot from heat and skim off any foam. Let jam cool in the pot for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Ladle hot jam into hot jars, leaving a 1/4 inch headspace. Remove any air bubbles. Wipe jar rims and thread with a clean, damp paper towel. Center hot lids on jars and screw on bands until fingertip tight.
• Place jars in canner, making sure they are covered by at least an inch of water. Cover and bring to a gentle boil, process 4-oz jars and 8-oz jars for 10 minutes; process 1-pint jars for 15 minutes.
• Remove jars from canner and place on a cloth towel. Let cool for 24 hours, then check seals. Wash and dry jars and store in a cool, dry, dark location.

MARGARITA JELLY SHOTS

Steps:

• Combine the sugar, lime juice and 2/3 cup regular water in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between each, until the sugar is dissolved, about 2 minutes. Add the seltzer water to the syrup mixture, sprinkle the gelatin on top and leave it to bloom for 5 minutes.
• Microwave the bloomed gelatin mixture until dissolved, about 30 seconds. Sir in the tequila and orange liqueur. Divide the mixture among twelve 2-ounce glasses. Refrigerate until set, at least 3 hours.
• Before serving, garnish each shot with a small pinch of flaky sea salt and a lime wedge.

STRAWBERRY MARGARITA JELLO

Steps:

• Dissolve the gelatin in the boiling water, stirring to make sure all is dissolved.
• Combine the thawed strawberries (with juice) and margarita mix in a blender with 1/2 cup tequila or water. Blend until smooth.
• Stir strawberry mixture into the gelatin mixture. The recipe suggests pouring 3/4 cup mixture into margarita glasses to set, but you can also use a 8 x 12-inch pan. Refrigerate 4 hours or overnight, until set. The 8 x 12-inch pan needs to set overnight.
• To serve: garnish with whipped cream, a fresh strawberry and/or grated lime zest.
