When the term Sugar and Everything Nice comes to mind, I now think of Jo’s blog. When we think of everything nice, I’m sure coffee enters the picture. With coffee shops opening all over the place, they seem to be replacing, or even competing with, the fast food industry. These days, we can get coffee whenever we want it, however we want it. Jo can even prepare it however she wants it.

Many of us share Jo’s appreciation for the little brown bean that keeps us going on a busy day. Some of us with a keener sense of smell can spot it a mile away, and when it’s presented to us in a dessert, the flavor is hard to ignore. It’s almost comforting. Though I’m not one to drink a cup of coffee in the morning, I do appreciate it in a dessert, which is why Jo’s version of Homemade Black Coffee Jelly caught my eye.

She says it can be prepared in about 15 minutes and tastes great with ice cream. She first tried the dessert at a nearby coffee shop; it left such an impression on her, that she couldn’t resist making it herself. This is an irresistible dessert. Whether or not you add the liqueur is completely up to you, but it goes without saying that the coffee is what makes this a tasty and memorable sweet treat.
