Ingredients

• 250 ml Balsamic vinegar
• 200 g Granulated sugar
• 10 g Powdered pectin
• 50 ml Water

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine balsamic vinegar and water.

Step 2

Gradually whisk the powdered pectin into the liquid to avoid lumps.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently.

Step 4

Once simmering, add the granulated sugar and stir until completely dissolved.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil. Boil for 1-2 minutes while stirring constantly.

Step 6

Remove the saucepan from heat and skim off any foam that may have formed on the surface.

Step 7

Carefully pour the hot jelly into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4-inch of headspace at the top.

Step 8

Seal the jars with their lids and let them cool to room temperature. As the jelly cools, it will set to a spreadable consistency.

Step 9

Once cooled, store the jars in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or process in a water bath canner for long-term shelf storage.
