Mint Lime Mojito Jelly

September 4, 2013 · by Carrie Trax ·

Mojito Lime Jelly

Fresh from Oregon means fresh from my own garden.  I planted a big barrel of Mojito mint and it is ready to harvest.  So what to make with all this mint … Fresh From Oregon Mint Mojito Jelly.  This is great served as a condiment with pork or lamb but I like to just spoon it over a block of cream cheese and serve it with crackers.  Great recipe to preserve the Fresh From Oregon taste you can enjoy throughout the whole year.  It also makes a quick and easy treat for unexpected guest who stop by, enjoy!

Mint Mojito Jelly
2 cups fresh mints leavesmint
8 cups water
1 box powdered pectin
4 cups white sugar
1 cup fresh lime juice

Bruise mint leaves a bit with a fork or by twisting.  Add to the water in a saucepan.  Boil over high heat until reduced by half to 4 cups of liquid.  Strain and discard the leaves.  To the water add the box of powdered pectin and stir until dissolved.  Add the sugar and fresh lime juice.  Bring to a boil.  Boil for one minute, stirring constantly.  Remove from heat and skim foam of the top if any.  I add a few drops of green food coloring to make it a little more greener.  Ladle into sterilized jars and process for 10 minutes in a hot water canner.
