MESQUITE JELLY
Find a mesquite tree with the beans turning red. (Some trees don’t turn red. They just dry up and turn brown.) Pick beans; mostly red, some green plump ones. Wash and snap. Cover with water and boil 45 minutes to 1 hour. Throw beans away. Save juice. Measure 5 cups of juice and bring to a boil. Add 1 box and 1/4 cup Sure Jell. Bring to a full boil. Add 7 1/2 cups sugar. Boil 5 minutes. Skim and pour into sterile jars and seal. Hot pack in boiling water for 10 minutes.
