I've seen clusters of little sour orange fruits on low growing palm
trees near the gulf coast. They would probly make great jelly; I would
start with a plum jelly recipe if I couldn't find one explicitly for
jelly palm fruits. Plum and palm are spelled about the same, so it
should work... ;-)

Hi Tim,
I was serious about using a plum jelly recipe, but if the fruits are not
very juicy you might be better off using a mayhaw jelly recipe (boil the
fruit in a little water, mash, cook a little longer, strain, etc.)

Gee, I don't know a thing about them, but the description of the fruit
sounds wonderful. You could extract the juice (crush the fruit somewhat
and add water about halfway up the depth in a kettle, cook for about 20
minutes, and strain through a cheesecloth), then test it for pectin
content (it involves rubbing alcohol and some of the juice) and proceed
from there. If it has sufficient pectin of its own, use 3/4 to 1 cup
sugar for each cup of strained juice and boil until it jells - about 221
degrees F. Don't use more than about 4-5 cups of juice at one time.
FWIW. Slightly underripe fruit will have more pectin than fully ripe
fruit. Let us know how it turns out, eh?
