Hi! This is my first time posting:) I was wondering if anybody has had a success with ChillOver Jelly? If you had could you post your recipes? I would really appreciate it! I just bought some ChillOver and know there is a recipe for jam but our family eats jelly

![]() ![]() ![]() Elisabeth, so far I have made violet, dandelion, and honeysuckle jelly this year using the ChillOver powder. If you want the recipes I can post them, however, will you spend the time picking and preparing the flowers? lol. (Some will) Really, after the juice is prepared I just use the same amount of ChillOver powder as their is in the powdered pectin (ounce per ounce)...and I do like the way the ChillOver powder sets up. I plan to use it all the time now. I'll plan to do fruit jellies as the farmer's markets start selling.
Here are my recipes:
countrylife.lehmans.com/2011/06/14/honeysuckle-jelly/
(my honeysuckle jelly turns a beautiful, rosy pink since I do not have yellow honeysuckle. The pink is its natural color in my woods.
prairielandherbs.com/dandelionjelly.htm is where I found my dandelion jelly recipe. I did end up putting a drop or two of green food coloring into the pan when I put the infusion, sugar and lemon juice into pan. It came out a pretty jewel-like color. The first year I left it the natural yellow color and I thought it looked yucky.
www.prairielandherbs.com/violetjelly.htm is also where I found my violet jelly. It turns out so pretty.
Last year I canned the jelly in pretty little 4 oz. jars. Thinking the would make tasty little gifts. Well, when I went back to the persons who were gifted...there sat the jelly. They said they were too cute to open. So, this year I put it in regular size jelly jars. Yes! The jars are open and my friends/family are enjoying the jelly!

I'll do the regular jellies like wild black raspberries and strawberry in the same way.

The ChillOver directions suggest using a shaker to sprinkle and mix in powder. I did this and would strongly suggest it. Otherwise, it won't mix in well. (trust me)

Oh those are pretty!! So the Parmesan/pepper shaker works well? That's a smart idea because it can hold more than a salt shaker.
I want to make sure I have this right... Our grape jelly recipe we have always used calls for 1 box of SureJell which is 1.75oz so you just use 1.75 oz of ChillOver right?

Right. That's what I did anyway. The shaker worked great! (It's one I had on hand with powdered sugar in it. Now, I will keep it for the ChillOver.
I also made a shrimp mousse (appetizer spread) over Christmas using the ChillOver powder instead of the knox gelatin powder. Same thing with the measurement. It turned out great!
BTW- welcome to posting, Elisabeth! I know you will enjoy it!

Your jellies are lovely looking. Sound mouth watering with dandelion, violet, and honeysuckle. Great job!

Thank you, Kelly. I call them the family jewels. (lol) They pretty much taste like honey.
