Wild Red Clover Jelly

While sitting outside the other night, looking out at the back of the property, I looked at all that wild growing red clover.

"I wonder if the pioneers made anything out of clover?" I asked the kids. 

Their response?  Laughter and head nodding.

"Let me guess Mom?  You are going to make jelly?"

I don't think the pioneers would have canned it with 8 cups of sugar, but I made it anyway.  I used the same recipe I used for the white clover.

It turned out with a very pretty color.

We tasted the wild white clover jelly and it was delicious.  Not one person here had a bad comment.  One daughter said it tasted like a popsicle.

It is a bit softer than a regular jelly, almost the thickness of dandelion jelly.  In my opinion, a bit too runny.   I'll let the other jars set a few more days to see if it thickens.  It not, I will be using a different recipe that yields less jars.

Next to try will be a jam, similar to what the pioneers made.
