It's time to get more Yellow Rock Ranch farm stands out there. Now I just need someone to build them. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm very proud to say that today we donated five of our chickens to the youth of Yankeetown 4-H Club 💚

Raising chickens and poultry in 4-H teaches kids practical life skills, animal science, and personal responsibility through hands-on care 🐔 🍀

Beauty Berry Jelly

Ingredients:
6 cups ripe beautyberries
8 cups water
3 tbsp lemon juice
4 cups granulated sugar
1.5 packages low-sugar pectin

Step-by-Step Instructions

Harvest and clean:
Pick ripe, vibrant purple berries in late summer or fall. Rinse them thoroughly and remove stems.

Extract juice:
Place the berries in a pot, mash them with a potato masher, and add the water. Boil the mixture for 20 minutes.

Strain:
Pour the mixture through a cheesecloth into a bowl to collect the clear, rosy-pink juice. Do not squeeze the cloth if you want a clear jelly rather than a cloudy jam.

Boil and set:
Measure out your juice, return it to the pot, and stir in the lemon juice, sugar, and pectin. Bring to a rolling boil for 1 minute.

Can or store:
Pour into sterilized canning jars and process in a water bath canner for 10 minutes, or store in the refrigerator if making a small, unsealed batch.
