Cooking Instructions
- 1
First, wash, dry and roughly chop the mint leaves.
- 2
Add the leaves and the water to a large saucepan.
- 3
Bring to the boil. You can crush the leaves with a potato masher to get more flavor if you wish.
- 4
Turn off the heat and let stand for at least 10 minutes. If you want a stronger mint flavor, let it stand for up to 30 minutes.
Strain the leaves out, measuring 3 cups of the liquid as you do. - 5
Add the 3 cups of liquid back into the saucepan with the lemon juice. Add the butter, if using.
- 6
Whisk in the pectin and bring the mixture back to the boil.
- 7
Slowly add in the sugar, whisking as you go, making sure the sugar is being stirred through and dissolves. Once the mixture reaches a rapid boil, cook for an additional 2 minutes before pouring into sterilized jars.
- 8
If canning, make sure to follow proper canning instructions for processing - usually 10 minutes in a water bath.

NOTE:
The butter is not necessary, but it does help dissipate the foam that collects on top of jams and jellies. If you don't use it, that's okay, you can skim the top of the jams and jellies to remove and discard any foaming that occurs. I discovered that unrefined coconut oil can be substituted for the butter for lactose intolerance.

Strawberry Jelly Strawberry Jelly
I love strawberries so I use lots of them.I always make this when I can get my hands on cheap and tasty strawberries.I finally came up with this recipe after many trial and errors, thinking about the following points: To prevent discoloration, the gelatin liquid should be pinkish, prevent scum floating on top and keep a nice strawberry texture. The picture has two layers, and the bottom part is milk pudding. I used gelatin that requires 250 ml liquid per 5 g gelatin powder. Please check the gelatin package and adjust the amount of liquid you use. Recipe by Ma-nyan -

I adapted a recipe I saw in a book to use instant coffee, and added a little sugar.If you have granulated sugar, use that instead of regular white sugar. I think it gives a slightly more refined sweetness.As I wrote in the introduction, I added a lot of gelatin to make it the consistency I like, so you can use less if you prefer. Recipe by Shoutaboo -
