Apple mint jelly
Serve with pork or lamb dishes.
What you need
- 900 g cooking apples diced (do not peel or core)
- 600 ml water
- 450 g sugar with pectin: actual quantity depends on amount of apple juice
- 3 tsp-45 ml finely chopped fresh mint: actual quantity depends on amount of juice and personal taste
- 1/2-1 tsp lemon juice
Method
Put apples into a large saucepan with the water. Simmer gently until a soft puree, but do not cook too quickly.
Put through a jelly bag, suspended over a large bowl. If you do not have a jelly bag then place a nylon (not metal) sieve over a large bowl, and cover this with several layers of muslin. Allow the juice to drip through the bag or muslin. Do not push through or squeeze the bag, otherwise the liquid will become cloudy.
Measure the juice. For each 600 ml, allow 450g sugar and 1-3 tbsp of mint. The amount depends upon how strong you want the flavour. You can add a few drops of lemon juice or vinegar if a sharper taste is needed.
Pour the juice back into the pan. Add the sugar. Stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved.
Boil rapidly, without stirring, until the mixture reaches a light setting point. Then add the herbs and the lemon juice or vinegar. Boil for about 2 min.
Allow the jelly to cool slightly in the pan - stir to ensure the herbs are evenly distributed. Pour into hot jars and seal.
