Ingredients

  • 114 g Mint

  • 675 g Sugar, white

  • 62 ml Water

  • 0.9 l Juice, apple

  • 6 drops Vanilla, extract, imitation

Steps

  1. The next day, place the pot on the stove and wait for the liquid to boil. Then remove the pot from the heat and strain the liquid thoroughly using a fine sieve or cheesecloth. Pour the liquid back into the pot. Add the remaining sugar and apple juice. Cook over moderate heat for about 20 minutes or until the temperature of the liquid reaches approximately 100 degrees Celsius. Check this with a kitchen thermometer. Stir well several times in between.

  2. If desired, mix in green food coloring. Pour the prepared mint jelly into sterilized jars for preserving, and seal them tightly. Then place a larger pot on the stove and fill it halfway with water. Wait for the water to boil, then place the jars on a rack, lower them into the pot, and cook in a water bath for 10 minutes.

  3. Serve the prepared jelly to guests at an appropriate time.
