Pear jelly with mint

Spread the love

Ingredients for 1 servings:

  • 6 sprigs of mint, Moroccan
  • 1 liter pear juice
  • 500 g gelling sugar 3:1
  • 1 lemon(s), juice

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 6 minutes; Total time approx. 21 minutes

Rinse the jam jars with hot water, including the lids, and microwave for about 2 minutes to dry. Pick the mint leaves, wash them, pat them dry, and cut them into fine strips. Pour the pear juice into a large saucepan and add the mint leaves. Add the gelling sugar in a 3:1 ratio and mix well. Bring everything to a boil over high heat, stirring until the mixture is bubbling vigorously. Only now begins the cooking time. Boil briskly for 4 minutes, stirring continuously. Add the lemon juice. Test for setting. Place 1 teaspoon of jelly on a small porcelain plate. If it doesn’t set, cook for another 1-2 minutes. Fill the prepared jars to the brim with the hot mixture and immediately screw on the lids. Let it cool and store, or enjoy straight away. Note: I used pear juice made from 100% fruit from local orchards.
