How to Make Garden Mint Jelly With A Hint Of Garlic
- Wash 2 cups of mint leaves thoroughly and divide into two equal portions.
- Roughly chop one portion of mint leaves. Squeeze out excess water.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups white vinegar, 4 cups sugar, and the remaining, unchopped portion of mint. Stir over low heat until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil for 1 minute.
- Strain the syrup through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth-lined strainer, pressing gently to extract all the liquid. Return the strained syrup to the saucepan.
- Stir in 1 box (3 oz) powdered pectin (such as Certo). Bring to a rolling boil and boil hard for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat. Stir in 1/4 cup chopped mint, 1 clove minced garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon of chili flakes (or more, to taste).
- Let the mixture cool slightly (about 5 minutes) to prevent the mint from floating to the surface.
- Skim off any foam. Pour the jelly into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean, seal, and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes (adjust according to your altitude).
