Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Honey
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Coriander seeds
- 2 cups Water
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Powdered pectin
Instructions
In a small skillet, toast the coriander seeds over medium heat for 2–3 minutes until aromatic. Remove from heat and lightly crush the seeds using a mortar and pestle or the back of a spoon.
In a medium saucepan, combine water, crushed coriander seeds, and honey. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let the mixture steep for 15 minutes.
Strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean saucepan, discarding the solids.
Stir in the granulated sugar and lemon juice. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently.
Sprinkle the powdered pectin evenly over the boiling liquid while whisking continuously to ensure no lumps form. Continue to boil for 1–2 minutes or until the mixture thickens slightly.
Remove from heat and let cool for 5–10 minutes, skimming off any foam on the surface with a spoon.
Carefully pour the jelly into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace. Seal the jars with lids and let them cool to room temperature.
Refrigerate the jars for at least 4 hours or until the jelly sets. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or process the jars in a boiling water bath for long-term storage.
