This is a delicious and unique tasting jelly that I really enjoy especially on bread with butter. I made it according to the recipe as posted and was very happy with the results. It has a beautiful color and set up very firmly. I had my husband (who has never tried red zinger tea) taste-test it, and he said it tasted like raspberries. It has a unique perky fruity taste.

I don't often give 5 star ratings but I love this more and more as I eat it. I did use powdered pectin according to the package directions and the texture is a bit grainy... but the flavor is still great. I used raspberry zinger but I don't think it changed the flavor any. It tastes like really "zingy" red zinger tea. The extra zing comes from the orange and rind. I only used 1 Tbs of rind because it was fresh and strong. I'm glad I did because more would have been overpowering. The rind does cloud the color but it is SO worth it! I did not have any liqueur. BTW- This made 4 half-pints. I had considered doubling or tripling this in the future but while researching discovered that jelly has to be made in small batches in order to be safe. (boiling time would change) Probably you could do several batches back-to-back and process them at the same time.

Love this jelly!! I used Wildberry Zinger Tea. I also used Lemon juice and lemoncello and left out the lemon zest. It tastes just like the WIldberry tea!! Yummy!! It made 3 half pints and probably 1/8 pint. I put the little bit leftover in a little bowl to enjoy now. You could probably use whatever herbal tea you like.
