Jaboticaba Jelly
"This recipe, posted in response to a request, is from an elderly friend from church. She makes this every year to raise funds for missions work. Jaboticaba jelly tastes, to me, like a tart raspberry jelly with no seeds. I have never made this, or any other jelly, but if anyone has questions about it, I can always ask Florence."

I live in south Florida and have lots of tropical fruit trees. They bear so much fruit, it's impossibIe to eat it all! I love this fruit, but other than making wine, never tried anything else. Made this jelly and it was absolutely delicious. I mix it into my plain yogurt and it's sooo good. Making more batches for Christmas gifts! Thank you for sharing the recipe. -
