Ingredients:
1 cup chopped fresh mint leaves |
1 cup water |
1/2 cup vinegar |
3 1/2 cups sugar |
green food coloring |
1 (3-ounce) package liquid fruit pectin |
Directions:
1. Combine mint, water, vinegar, and sugar in a flat-bottomed kettle, stirring well; bring to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and strain through a sieve. Discard mint leaves.
2. Return strained liquid to kettle. Stir in food coloring, 1 drop at a time, until desired color is reached. Bring to a rolling boil. Add liquid pectin, and return to a rolling boil. Boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and skim off foam with a metal spoon.
3. Quickly ladle jelly into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Cover with metal lids, and screw bands tight. Process jelly in boiling-water bath 5 minutes. Serve with lamb or other meats.
4. Note: Let Mint Jelly stand at least one week to allow flavor to intensify.
