INGREDIENTS

DIRECTIONS

  • Chop the cooking apples roughly and put them into a preserving pan. Add enough cold water to cover the fruit. Simmer over medium heat until the fruit is soft.
  • Strain the fruit through a jelly bag into a large saucepan, allowing it to drain overnight. Do not squeeze the bag or the jelly will become cloudy.
  • Measure the amount of juice strained from the jelly bag. For every 2-1/2 cups of strained juice, add 2-3/4 cups sugar.
  • Heat the juice mixture gently, stirring to dissolve the sugar. Bring to a boil. After about 10 minutes, test for setting by pouring about 1 teaspoon into a saucer and letting it cool slightly. If a wrinkle forms on the surface when pushed with a fingertip, the jelly will set. Leave to cool.
  • Stir in the chopped fresh mint and pour the jelly into warmed, sterilized jars. Seal each jar with a waxed disk and a tight-fitting plastic top. Store in a cool, dark place. The jelly will keep unopened for up to a year. Once opened, keep in the fridge and consume within a week.
