KUDZU BLOSSOM JELLY
Kudzu blooms the end of July through September. It has attractive bunches of delicate purple flowers with a fragrance reminiscent of grapes which may be used to make a unique jelly to spoon over cream cheese, or melt and serve over waffles and ice cream. Make sure picking area has not been sprayed with chemicals to kill the kudzu. Overnight steeping is not included in the preparation time. Posted in response to a forum topic.

KUDZU JELLY
I'm a Georgia girl, and being from Georgia you see Kudzu vines all over the place. Unless your from around these parts, most don't know that you can make jelly from the fragrant blossoms. This is a recipe that has been passed down in my family for generations. Hope you enjoy.

Steps:
- Place the clean flowers in a heat proof container.
- Pour the boiling water over the flowers and stir briefly.
- Cover lightly and let cool to room temperature.
- Steep for 6 to 8 hours in your refrigerator before straining.
- Add the lemon juice to the prepared kudzu tea.
- Stir to combine. The color will shift slightly.
- Pour this mixture into a saucepan, and set aside.
- In a separate bowl, measure out the sugar.
- Take 1/4 cup of sugar out of this amount (leaving 1 1/4 cups for later), and place that 1/4 cup of sugar in a small bowl.
- Combine the pectin with this 1/4 cup sugar, and then add the combination to your kudzu tea/lemon juice blend.
- Stir to combine.
- Place the saucepan over a burner set to medium-high heat.
- Stir constantly, while bringing the jelly to a boil.
- Once the jelly reaches a full rolling boil (the boil doesn't stop if you stir it), then add in the rest of the sugar (1 1/4 cups).
- Return to a full boil and boil for one minute.
- Remove from heat and ladle the hot jelly into the hot jars.
- You might find it easier to first pour the jelly into a heat-proof pyrex measuring cup then pour from there into the jars, rather than use a ladle. This works great as long as you're ready to work fast!
- Divide the jelly between 4 small four-ounce jelly jars, or 2 eight-ounce jelly jars, leaving a 1/4 inch headspace.
- If canning, use a chopstick or plastic utensil to remove the air bubbles from each side of the jar.
- Wipe off the rims of the jelly jars with a damp paper towel or rag to remove any splashes or stickiness that could interfere with the lid's sealing.
- Place the lids on top, and screw on the rims to fingertip-tight.
- If you're not canning your jelly, this is where you will simply leave it to completely cool then move to your refrigerator, or freeze.
- Fresh jelly should be eaten within 2 to 3 weeks, or frozen for up to one year.
- While the jars are still hot, load them up in your water bath canner's rack.
- Lower the rack carefully into your water bath canner, which should be filled with simmering hot water.
- Be sure the jars are covered with at least an inch of water.
- Cover the canner and bring the water to a full boil.
- Once boiling, process the jelly jars for 5 minutes.
- Once finished processing, remove the jelly jars from the rack and place them on the towel.
- Leave undisturbed for 24 hours.
- Store canned jelly in a cool, dark place for about 1 year.
- Once a jar is opened, place it in the refrigerator and use within 2-3 weeks.
