Pomegranate Jelly

Pomegranate Jelly
5 cups pomegranate juice
7 cups sugar
1 box pectin
8-10 canning jars & lids

Sterilize cans and lids by boiling them in water.
Pour juice in Lrg. Pan and mix 1 box of pectin in. Stirring bring to a full boil. (add a tab of butter so it doesn't overflow) Then add sugar, and bring to a full boil. Cook for 3 minuts at a ful boil.
Using a funnel pour juice into jars, leaving about 1/2 space at top, wipe top of jar off, add lid and tighten. Flip upside down on counter and don't disturb for at least 5 minutes or until cool. (Once cool you can flip them over and make sure they are sealed). Make sure you label your jar with what is in it and the year.

I realize that most of you don't have access to cheap pomegranates, but you can also sub it with other juices. (I also stuck this on here so I don't loose this recipe)

Cornbread

I recieved this yummy recipe from my Thrive Food party. This is delicious. It makes enough to share, though you might not want to.

1 c butter
1 1/2 c sugar
1 cup milk
3 eggs
4 tsp baking powder
1/4 salt
2 c flour
1 c cornmeal

In a mixing bowl, whisk together butter and sugar. Add milk and continue to whisk.
In a separate bowl, beat eggs, then whisk into mixture.
Combine dry ingredients then add to the wet ingredients. Stir until combined, but do not over mix. Heat oven to 350 then pour into a well greased 13x9 pan. Bake for 20-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean. Enjoy with butter or yummy honeybutter.

(This can be used with your food storage supplies such as dry milk, powdered eggs and still turns out yummy!)
