My mint has gone crazy this year so am trying to save some for the winter months, this was a mixture of several recipes plus a few bits of my own and it is DELICIOUS, even DH who hardly ever comments asked me to make more! I put only a hint of chilli in but feel free to add more if that is to your taste. This would be great with a hot curry I think. This Jelly will be a very dark green colour, just from the mint. Ingredients:
4 ounces fresh mint, bunch |
1/2 pint white vinegar |
1 lb sugar |
1 (250 g) bottle certo |
3 garlic cloves, chopped |
1 teaspoon chili flakes |
Directions:
1. wash mint thoroughly and divide into 2.
2. take the leaves from one bunch, squeeze out the surplus water and chop finely.
3. Put vinegar and sugar into a saucepan with the second bunch of mint and stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved.
4. Bring to the boil for 1 minute.
5. Strain syrup through a muslin and return to the saucepan.
6. Stir in the certo, bring to the boil and boil for 2 minutes.
7. Add the chopped mint, garlic and chilli.
8. Allow to cool slightly to prevent the mint from floating.
9. Skim, pot and cover in the usual way.
