Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1 cup boiling water
  • 6 cups apple juice
  • 4 1/2 cups sugar
  • Green food coloring

Directions

Put mint leaves in a small bowl and cover with boiling water. Let stand for 1 hour, pressing juice from the leaves every so often. Remove leaves.

In a large kettle over medium heat, combine apple juice and mint extract. Bring to a boil, then add sugar. Continue to boil until mixture reaches 221 degrees on a candy thermometer or falls in sheets from a spoon, 20 to 30 minutes. Stir occasionally.

Remove from heat and discard mint leaves, if added. Add a few drops of green food coloring, if desired. Skim off and discard any foam. Carefully ladle jelly into hot, sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch head space. Wipe excess jelly from inside and outside rims, then seal.

      Cook's Notes

For a stronger mint flavor, tie bruised mint leaves in two thicknesses of cheesecloth and boil with the juice.
