Mint Jelly

Mint jelly is only green by adding food coloring. The amber color is the natural color. It may be darker if cooked too long. #GlobalApron 2024

Ingredient

1 box (1.75 oz)

fresh mint leaves, chopped, packed

4 cups

butter or coconut oil, optional

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

First, wash, dry and roughly chop the mint leaves.

* Step 2

Add the leaves and the water to a large saucepan.

* Step 3

Bring to the boil. You can crush the leaves with a potato masher to get more flavor if you wish.

* Step 4

Turn off the heat and let stand for at least 10 minutes. If you want a stronger mint flavor, let it stand for up to 30 minutes. Strain the leaves out, measuring 3 cups of the liquid as you do.

* Step 5

Add the 3 cups of liquid back into the saucepan with the lemon juice. Add the butter, if using.

* Step 6

Whisk in the pectin and bring the mixture back to the boil.

* Step 7

Slowly add in the sugar, whisking as you go, making sure the sugar is being stirred through and dissolves. Once the mixture reaches a rapid boil, cook for an additional 2 minutes before pouring into sterilized jars.
