What is mint jelly?

jelly mint is a spice made in the preservation process such as other jelly. Thanks to the addition of green food coloring, the mantic jelly transforms from its natural orange tone to green, which is more suitable for its mint taste. Real mint is used to make jelly, but the leaves and stems are placed through a sieve. Mint Jelly is mostly used as an accompaniment to a roast lamb. It is also a popular spice that is made at home people who make other types of canning or have a mint in their garden. Homemade jelly can make great gifts when the containers are presented with a green bow at the top.

The first step in the production of mint is to crush fresh, rinsed mint slightly leaves with a bottom of a cup or other dishes to help relax the taste. Then the mints are leaves and stems placed in a pot and covered with water. When the water just boiled, the mint left to sit in the water about 10 minutes in front of it is removed and tight with a herb sieve or cottage cheese.

stressed mint essence is measured and cooked, this time with lemon juice, water, a few drops of green food color and sugar. Pectin is added to the boiling liquid to set the jelly. The foam, which rises to the top of the pot, is removed by a large spoon. The last step in the production of mint jelly is to place jelly in heated, sterile glasses and sealing the lids.

Some manufacturers of mint jelly prefer to use vinegar rather than lemon and others add chopped apples to make apple mint jelly. Green apples, such as Granny Smith, can add an amazing taste to the jelly. Alcoholic jelly mint can also be made or purchased. One brand is the Mint of Aunt Bea Jelly of Kentucky, which contains bourbon, mint extract and fruit juice.
