Mint Jelly Ingredients

• 

  Lamb Stew with Almonds and Apricots Recipe

  1 1/2 cups packed fresh mint leaves and stems

• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 1/4 cups boiling water
• 1 drop green food color
• 3 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1/2 (6 fluid ounce) container liquid pectin

How to make Mint Jelly

• Rinse off the mint leaves, and place them into a large saucepan. Crush with a potato masher or the bottom of a jar or glass. Add water, and bring the mint to a
  boil. Remove from heat, cover, and let stand for 10 minutes. Strain, and measure out
  1 2/3 cups of the mint.
• Place 1 2/3 cups mint into a saucepan. Stir in the lemon juice and food coloring.
  Mix in the sugar, and place the pan over high heat. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
  Once the mixture is boiling, stir in the pectin. Boil the mixture for a full minute while
  stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and skim foam off the top using a large metal
  spoon. Transfer the mixture to hot sterile jars, and seal.
• 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 the water to a full boil, cover the pot, and process for 10 minutes.

• Lamb Stew with Almonds and Apricots is ready to serve.
