Zubereitung von Apple Mint Jelly Less Sugar
- Steep 1 cup of fresh mint leaves in 1/2 cup of water for 5 minutes. Strain the mixture, reserving the mint-infused water and discarding the leaves.
- Combine the mint-infused water with enough apple juice to reach a total volume of 6 cups.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 box (1.75 ounces) powdered pectin and 1/4 cup granulated sugar until smooth.
- Add the pectin mixture to the apple juice mixture. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
- Stir in 3 cups granulated sugar. Return to a rolling boil and boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat. Stir in 1 teaspoon of mint extract (or to taste) and a few drops of green food coloring (optional, for a vibrant green hue).
- Skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
- Carefully ladle the hot jelly into 8 sterilized 1/2-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the jar rims clean. Secure lids and rings.
- Process jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust processing time based on your altitude).
- Let the jars cool completely. Check for seals (the lids should not flex when pressed). Store in a cool, dark place.
