Rhubarb Orange Jelly is a sweet and tangy treat that is perfect for an afternoon snack or light dessert. This recipe combines the unique flavors of rhubarb and orange to create a refreshing and satisfying taste. The jelly can be spread on toast or used as a topping for yogurt, ice cream, or cake. It is also a great addition to cheese and charcuterie boards. The bright orange color of the jelly adds a beautiful pop of color to any dish.

Instructions

1.	Using a vegetable peeler, peel off the outermost layer of the orange zest and slice it into thin strips. Set aside.
2.	In a large saucepan, combine the chopped rhubarb, water, and orange zest. Bring to a boil and then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the rhubarb is soft, about 20-25 minutes.
3.	Strain the rhubarb mixture through a fine mesh strainer, pressing gently to extract the juice. Discard the solids.
4.	Return the rhubarb juice to the saucepan and add the fruit pectin crystals. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
5.	Add the sugar all at once, continuing to stir constantly. Bring the mixture back up to a rolling boil and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
6.	Remove from heat and skim off any foam. Ladle the jelly into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the rims of the jars clean and cover with lids and bands. Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
