I have done quite a few jellies, jams, preserves and marmalades over the
past few years, but I am stuck for some reason on this particular project. I
managed to score a 5lb bag of frozen hulled, halved strawberries and a 4lb
bag of frozen triple berry (blue, rasp and strawberries). I got them at a
fair price, considering the time of year and cost of fresh these days. I
want to make jelly out of both bags. That part I can do. What I am looking
for is an answer to this: Can I extract the juice needed from the frozen
berries to make a normal batch of jelly and THEN use the pulp to make any
decent kind of jam? What do I do to make the jam - add extra water to
compensate for the jelly juice that was extracted? It seems like such a
waste to throw the pulp away, but I don't want to waste my time with it if
the end product won't be very good in the long run. Would I be better off
making the pulp into a butter of sorts? Any help you guys can provide would
be appreciated. I don't want to waste it is I don't have to. I am normally
just a lurker here, and enjoy reading about all of your projects as the
seasons change, but rarely have I posted in the 8 years I've been here.
Thanks again in advance for any help you guys can provide me!
