INGREDIENTS

  • Herbs and Spices

    • 1 ½ cups packed fresh mint leaves and stems

  • Liquids

    • 💧 2 ¼ cups boiling water
    • 🍋 2 tablespoons lemon juice
    • 1 drop green food color

  • Sweeteners

    • 🍬 3 ½ cups white sugar

  • Preservatives

    • 3 fluid ounces liquid pectin

STEPS

1

Rinse off mint leaves and stems; place them into a medium saucepan. Crush with a potato masher or the bottom of a jar or glass. Add boiling water; cover and let stand for 10 minutes.

2

Strain mint mixture; measure out 1 2/3 cups mint liquid and return to the saucepan. Stir in lemon juice and food coloring. Mix in sugar and place the pan over high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin; boil mixture for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

3

Remove from heat and skim foam off the top using a large metal spoon. Transfer mixture to hot, sterile jars and seal.

4

Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then carefully lower the jars into the pot using a holder. Leave a 2-inch space between the jars. Pour in more boiling water if necessary until the water level is at least 1 inch above the tops of the jars. Bring water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.
