Luckily, the pomegranate is a part of the many fruits grow- ing on my property. Most of the fabulous juice has been turned into Pomegranate Jelly. It has a unique, delicious taste with an intense scarlet color. This recipe has been turned into gifts, numerous times, to family, friends and neighbors, including Linda Walker, who helped inspire this article.


SUZY’S


POMEGRANATE JELLY


3 ½ cups juice from 5-6 pomegranates


1 box Sure-Jell fruit pectin 5 cups sugar


Squeeze juice (an Italian fruit juicer with cone shape, works best). Or buy already squeezed juice. Must allow it to rest in refrigerator until sediment settles. (Overnight) Pour off clear juice. Discard sediment. Put juice into a 6-8 qt. sauce pan. Add pectin and place over high heat, until mixture comes to a boil. Immediately add all sugar, stir while bring- ing back to a rolling boil. Let boil for one minute. Remove from heat and skim of foam. Ladle quickly into hot steril- ized jars-filling them to 1/8 inch from top. Wipe jar rims and threads. Cover with lids and screw down tightly. Invert jars for five minutes, then, turn upright. Check seals after one hour. OR, process in boiling water bath for 5 min. Make’s 6– 8 oz jars.


The greatest loss of time is delay and expectation. I never yet talked to the man who wanted to save time who could tell me what he was going to do with the


time he saved. Will Rogers

Nation provides students, gradu- ates, and the public are the oppor- tunity to showcase their talent for national and international agents, casting directors and employers. The exposure these events pro- vides have led to students appear- ing on national TV commercials and print ads which in many cases have been a major contribu- tion to college trust funds. Tickets to the November


3rd event are $35 per person, or $350 for a table of 10 and can be purchased online or by phone. Reception begins at 5:30 at Santa Rosa’s Friedman Center, 4674 Mayette Avenue. Please call 707.575.8585 or visit www.julien- ation.com/40th-anniversary-celebra- tion for more information.
