Ingredients

• 750ml bourbon/whiskey
• 2 cups fresh apple cider
• juice from 1 lemon
• 1 package of liquid pectin
• 3-1/4 cup white sugar
• 1-2 inches of fresh ginger (peeled and chopped into 1/4inch slices)

Directions

• In a small-sized, non-reactive pot combine 1 cup apple cider and ginger slices. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer on low-medium heat for 10 minutes.
• In a large-sized, non-reactive pot, combine cider (1 fresh cup + ginger infused cider), lemon juice, whiskey, fresh ginger, and sugar. Bring to a hard boil over high heat for 7-10 minutes, stirring regularly until jelly consistency has thickened. Add pectin. At this point the bubbles should look shinny and syrupy.
• Test the jelly set using the saucer test: freeze saucer for 15 minutes, drop 1tsp of jelly on saucer then put in fridge for 1 minute, nudge the edge of jelly drop, should wrinkle if set.
• Remove ginger slices.
• Pour jelly into prepared (hot and sterilized) jars, wipe rims, apply lids and rings (finger tight), then process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes.
• Remove from water bath and let cool on a folded towel for 8-12 hours.
