I love to make different jellies so since I have lilacs in the yard I decided to try this recipe.
Lilac Jelly makes 8- 4 oz jars
2 c. packed lilac flowers
2 1/2 c. boiling water
1. Pour the boiling water over the lilac flowers, cover and allow to cool. Allow the infusion to sit 8 hours, or overnight.

2. Strain the flowers from the liquid using a coffee filter, you should have about 2 1/4 c. liquid.
2 c. lilac infusion
4 T lemon juice
1 box Sure-Jell powdered pectin
4 c. sugar
3. Place the lilac infusion, lemon juice and pectin in a large pot. Stirring constantly, bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
4. Add all of the sugar at once, and stir to dissolve. Bring the jelly back up to a rolling boil for 1 minute.
5. Remove the jelly from the heat, skim the foam from the top (I got a lot of foam from this recipe) and ladle into hot, sterilized jars. Process in a water bath for 10 minutes.
