  Rosemary Jelly 

  4-6 sprigs (about 2-3") fresh rosemary, snipped 
  1 1/4 cups boiling water 
  1/4 cup vinegar 
  3 cups sugar 
  a few drops of green food coloring (optional) 
  1/2 bottle liquid fruit pectin (powdered won't work) 

  Pour boiling water over rosemary. Cover and let steep 15 minutes. 

  Strain. Measure 1 cup of the infusion and put into  saucepan. 

  Stir in vinegar & sugar. Bring to a rolling boil over   high heat. 

  Add food coloring (if using) and pectin, stirring  constantly. 

  Bring to boil again and boil 1/2 minute. Remove from heat, skim and pour   
  into hot, sterilized jelly glasses (sterilize jelly glasses by pouring 
  boiling water into them before starting jelly).
