You just triggered a good memory Gloria. My dear departed Aunt Billy
used to make pomegranate jelly every year. She passed away in 1973 and I
haven't had any pom jelly since. She had two little trees in her
backyard in Vidor, TX and, as she explained, it was a real PITA to make
the jelly.

Like you, I'm not paying big bucks for poms nowadays. Wonder if you
could make the jelly from the bottled pom juice sold in stores? Might be
a little cheaper that way.

I *love* that sound too!!!

Made smooth peach jam for my DIL yesterday. She is *mad* about
peaches. I'll take it to her next weekend.

I have done that. Got a ribbon for the jelly at the fair one year ‹
looking at my spreadsheet, I can't figure out what color the ribbon was,
though.

Thanks, next time the local Kroger has a sale on full pom juice I will
make a stab at making the jelly.
