Honey-Lemon Jelly

With a harmonizing balence of sweet and tart, this 3-ingredient Honey-Lemon Jelly is great for gift-giving, or it may be so good you'll keep it all to yourself.
How to Make It
Step 1
Grate rind from enough lemons to measure 4 teaspoons; set aside.
Step 2
Squeeze juice from enough lemons to measure 3/4 cup; pour lemon juice through a wire-mesh strainer, discarding seeds and pulp.
Step 3
Combine rind, juice, and honey in a 6-quart saucepan, stirring well.
Step 4
Bring mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Quickly stir in pectin. Return mixture to a rolling boil, and boil, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Remove from heat; skim off foam with a metal spoon, if necessary.
Step 5
Pour jelly quickly into hot, sterilized jars, filling to 1/4 inch from top; wipe jar rims. Cover immediately with metal lids, and screw on bands. Process jars in boiling-water bath 5 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

Oh wow! This is just amazing! I have a lemon tree and a local honey hunt and oh my goodness, if you like lemon this is just the best! Tastes a bit like a lemon cream pie (minus the cream) and a bit like a lemon bar. Amazing! The best part...It's so fast to make! I made it in the morning before my kids woke up. It literally took under and hour from start to finish, including canning time.

I followed the recipe to the letter, but the jelly WOULD NOT set. Very disappointing. I guess I can still use it as lemon-flavored honey. It would probably be good for coughs and sore throats or in hot tea.

This is the best jelly. I make this over and over again because I have so many of my friends request it every year. Great for a sore throat and in tea! Yummy

This is, indeed, outstanding. Sweet and tart. I use my own honey and Meyer lemons (if you can find them). Instead of pint jars, opt for smaller 4 oz or 8 oz jelly jars.
