Mint Jelly

Step 1

Crush mint leaves (I did a rough chop). Add water. Bring to a boil.

Step 2

Remove from heat, cover and let stand 10 minutes. Strain and measure 3 cups of mint infusion.

Step 3

Add food coloring and lemon juice. Add Sure-Jell, dissolve and bring to a rapid boil.

Step 4

Add sugar. Cook fast, stirring occasionally until it comes to a rapid boil that cannot be stirred down, then cook 1 minute more.

Step 5

Pour into sterilized jelly glasses and seal. I processed in the steam canner for 10 minutes to insure a good seal.
