HUNGER GAMES.....
May the odds be ever in your favor.

So excited that The Hunger Games was made into a movie. Though I was extremely apprehensive about it - fearing that the movie would not do the book justice.  Expectations Exceeded!
Time to read the books again! If you haven't read The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins, what rock have you been living under?  READ IT!   (then see the movie!)

GUINNESS STOUT BEER JELLY 

makes: 7 half pint jars
(recipe from growitcookitcanit.com)

Ingredients:

• 2 12-ounce bottles of stout beer
• 1 package powdered Sure-Jell pectin
• 3 ½ cups sugar

Directions:

1. Bring canner to a boil. Wash jars and lids. Put lids in a bowl and cover with boiling water with the canner.
2. In a large, non-reactive pot, bring the beer and powdered pectin to a rolling boil. It will be very frothy, that’s normal. Stir in sugar and bring back to a rolling boil. Cook on high heat for two full minutes.
3. Pour hot jelly into jars. It will still be very frothy. I decided to leave a thick layer of foam on top of the jellies to imitate the way dark beer looks in a glass, but you could certainly skim it off with a spoon if you like. I only wanted a little froth on top, so I ladled the jelly into jars and led the air bubbles rise to the top for a few minutes before I screwed the lids on.
4. Wipe rims clean, screw on lids, and process half pint jars for 5 minutes.

I haven't tried this recipe - but I am completely intrigued by it and think I may have to make some soon..... maybe today!!  Happy St. Patrick's Day!  Cheers!
