Cactus Jelly
Do not double recipe. Gather about 1 qt. of fruit to make 2-1/2 C. of juice. If most of the fruit is very ripe, try to include some under-ripe ones to add pectin. Wash fruit and place in kettle with just enough water to cover. Boil until quite tender and soft (extracts pectin and flavor). Strain through two thicknesses of cheesecloth and set juice aside so sediment will settle. For clear jelly, do not use sediment portion. For each 2-1/2 C. juice, add one package of powdered pectin (more successful than liquid). Bring to fast boil, stirring constantly. Add 3 T. lemon or lime juice and 3-1/2 C. sugar. Bring to a hard boil (one you can't press down with a spoon) and boil for three minutes. The timing is very important to get a product that will jell. Remove from heat, skim and pour into sterilized jelly glasses. Cover with alayer of melter paraffin.

Champagne Jelly
Place champagne, lemon juice, and powdered pectin in heavy saucepan over high heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Immediately add sugar. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches a full, rolling boil. Immediately remove from heat, skim off foam with metal spoon, and pour into hot sterilized jars. Vacuum seal (hot water bath method, or can be refrigerated up to 6 weeks).
Notes: A wonderful bite to spread on tea breads, scones, or biscuits. A superb coating on white or pound cake, to be covered with a bittersweet chocolate glaze. Or try it as a glaze on broiled fruits for a brunch treat. (My notes: this would be a good substitute for the apple jelly called for as a glaze on fruit tarts & other fruit desserts. Try Domaine Ste-Michelle for the champagne-method sparkling wine--at about $6/750 ml bottle it's a real bargain--and wonderful to drink as well).

All Purpose Marinade (Moore)
Combine all ingredients in a nonreactive bowl. Use immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.
COOKSNOTES: Moore marinades the beef brisket for up to 24 hours before cooking. The marinade recipe is a good all-purpose marinade that can be used for chicken, beef and pork.
The purpose of a marinade is twofold, says Moore. One is to cleanse and open the pores of the meat to receive the flavorings of the marinade or dry rub. Then the marinade\'s citric juices can break down the connective tissues and tenderize the meat.
