How to Make Mojito Jelly Lime And Mint Jelly
- Prepare a boiling water canner.
- Sterilize 5 half-pint glass preserving jars, lids, and bands by simmering in boiling water for 10 minutes. Do not boil.
- Set bands aside.
- In a large pot, combine 2 cups packed fresh mint leaves and 4 cups water.
- Simmer, covered, for 20 minutes.
- Strain the mint infusion through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing on the leaves to extract all the flavor. Return the infused water to the pot.
- Boil the mint infusion until reduced to 3 cups (approximately 20-30 minutes).
- Add 4 cups granulated sugar, stirring until completely dissolved.
- Stir in the zest of 2 limes and the juice of 1 lime.
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
- Add 1 box (1.75 oz) liquid pectin, stirring continuously.
- Return to a rolling boil and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Remove from heat. Skim off any foam.
- If desired, stir in a few drops of green food coloring.
- Carefully ladle the hot jelly into the sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
- Wipe the rims of the jars with a clean, damp cloth.
- Place lids on jars and screw bands on firmly, but not too tight.
- Process in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes (adjust for altitude).
- Remove jars and let cool completely. You should hear a popping sound as the jars seal.
- After 24 hours, check lids for a good seal. The center of the lid should not flex when pressed.
