Ingredients for Crawfish Jelly Recipe

• 1 cup of water
• 2 tsp of red pepper sauce
• 1/3 cup of lemon juice
• 3 cups of sugar
• 1/2 bottle of fruit pectin
• Red food coloring (as needed)
• 1/8 teaspoon of Concentrated Shrimp & Crab Boil per pint
• Paraffin (for sealing)

Instructions for Crawfish Jelly Recipe

1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients. This will ensure a smooth cooking process.
2. In a large saucepan, combine the water, red pepper sauce, lemon juice, and sugar. Stir the mixture well to ensure all the ingredients are well incorporated.
3. Place the saucepan over high heat and bring the mixture to a boil. Make sure to stir constantly to prevent the sugar from sticking to the bottom and burning.
4. Once the mixture is boiling, it's time to add the fruit pectin, concentrated shrimp & crab boil, and a small amount of red food coloring. Stir well to combine all the ingredients, ensuring the pectin is fully dissolved.
5. Continue to cook the mixture until it comes to a full rolling boil. This means the mixture continues to boil even when you're stirring. Once it reaches this stage, let it boil hard for half a minute.
6. After boiling, remove the saucepan from the heat. Skim off any foam that might have formed on the surface of the mixture. This will ensure your jelly is clear and not cloudy.
7. Carefully pour the hot jelly mixture into four sterilized 5-oz jelly glasses. Make sure the glasses are hot to prevent them from cracking due to the sudden temperature change.
8. Melt the paraffin in a separate container. Once it's fully melted, carefully pour it over the jelly in each glass to create a seal. This will help preserve the jelly and prevent it from spoiling.
9. Allow the jelly to cool and set at room temperature. Once set, store in a cool, dark place until ready to use.
