Goji Berry Preserves
Ingredients:
5C Shigatse Valley Organics Goji berries
1 1/2 T Apple Cider Vinegar (5% acidity)
1 1/2 T Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed)
2 - 2 1/2 C Sugar
Instructions:
MAKING THE PRESERVES
1. Make the preserves: Combine goji berries and vinegar in a large saucepan. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, shaking the pan occasionally, for 4 minutes. Add the sugar and lemon juice then bring to a full boil. Continue to boil for 6 minutes, occasionally working the pan in a circular motion. Remove from heat, cover, and allow to stand overnight.
PROCESSING THE PRESERVES
2. Process the preserves: Sterilize eight 1/2-pint jars and keep hot. Bring the goji berry mixture to a boil over high heat and ladle into the hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Securely cap each jar and process using the boiling-water canning method for 10 minutes. Store in a cool, dark pantry for up to 1 year.
Great for gift baskets at holiday time.
