Agarita Jelly Recipe?

[rwittliff]

The Agarita are full of berries - anyone ever made jelly from them? I hear the berries make a pretty good jelly. Would appreciate a recipe if anyone has a good one

Wikipedia says to:

Place cleaned berries in a pot with sufficient water to cover and cook until berries begin to pop. They need not all pop. Let juice drip through a jelly bag (or cloth) squeezing only slightly. To make jelly: Combine 6 1/2 cups juice with one package of SureJell, in a pot large enough to allow strong boiling. Bring to a hard boil and add 7 cups of sugar. Let come to a hard boil again and for only one min. Remove from fire and fill jelly glasses. Freeze or can juice for making jelly later. It has a different flavor all its own

Picked some agarita berries this weekend to make jelly but instead made a juice that when added to a margarita is really good. Here's what I did. Picked berries; cleaned them and mashed; added water; brought berries and water to a boil and then simmered for about 10 minutes; Squeezed mash through a cheese cloth and let cool. Add about 1 oz of the resulting agarita juice to a rita on the rocks and you will have a tasty agarita margarita!
