MayPop Jelly take 2

This post gives a better idea of what maypops actually look like

4 cups ripe maypops, peeled (I just used whatever I found in the freezer)
1.875 cups water (2 cups light)
5 cups sugar
1 package pectin that is 1.75 oz

Combine the Maypops and water in a 3 quart saucepan and boil gently for 5 minutes. Strain through a colander pressing to extract as much juice as you can. Toss the skins and seeds (throw away.)

Combine the liquid and sugar and bring to a full rolling boil. Add the pectin and again bring to a full boil.
Check temperature 220°F with a candy Thermometer.

Remove from heat, pour into hot sterilized jars 1/4" headspace, top with hot lids and seal. Process in water bath canner

What on earth...??? I've never seen or heard of such a fruit as a Maypop. Is it citrus-y? or what does it taste like?

It does have a slight citrus flavor, its a Passiflora Incarnata "Passionflower"

No kidding? I never ever knew that Passionflower made a fruit like that and was edible.
LOVE learning new things!
Thank you!

So... passionflower is a bit of a sedative. Does the jelly have the same effect?

Maybe, if you ate 20 gallons of it?

LOL!! No, then I'd be bouncing off the ceiling due to the sugar!!

The color of the jelly is so pretty.
