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.

The smell of ripe, juicy strawberries fresh from the field is what I wait for every spring here in Oregon.  Strawberry season is different depending on where you live, but here in Oregon it can start as early as the first week in May.  During my visit this weekend at the local farmers market I […]
