Chop unpeeled apples, do not discard seeds. Combine apples, seeds, water, juice and mint in a large saucepan, bring to boil, reduce heat, simmer for about 40 minutes or until apples are very soft. Strain mixture through a fine cloth into large bowl. Allow liquid to drip through slowly, do not squeeze or press pulp as this will make the jelly cloudy. Discard pulp. Measure apple liquid, pour into large clean saucepan, add 3/4 cup sugar to each 1 cup liquid (mixture should not be more than 5cm deep at this stage) Stir over low heat, without boiling, until sugar has dissolved, bring to boil, uncovered, without stirring, for about 30 minutes or until jelly sets when tested on a cold saucer. Remove from heat, stand for 10 minutes. Stir in extra mint. Pour into hot sterilised jars, seal when cold. makes about 3 Cups.

Show more commentsLeave the jelly for at least ten minutes before adding the extra chopped mint, stir well, and then put into hot jars, i.e. while still hot, but starting to gel.
The jelly is sweet but ideal for roast lamb. I used double the amount of mint. The extra mint that I added at the end all rose to the top of the jar. Is there a way to stop this happening? (I suspect not.) All in, an excellent recipe.
Very sweet but very nice. I added double the amount of mint.
