Jaboticaba Jelly - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 -4 lbs jaboticabas, to make 3 to 4 cups of juice
3 -4 cups sugar

Preparation

To make juice, cover fruit with water and boil till soft.
Use a colander to strain juice, then use a potato masher to smash fruit and put it through the sieve as well.
Place equal amounts of sugar and juice into a pot and boil it\"till it scoots across a spoon\" or a candy thermometer registers 220\u00b0F
Place into sterilized hot jars and seal.
NOTE: Amounts and time are guesses; I was not able to pin Florence down on this very well (and I quote), \"Every time it is different\".
