1 1/2 cups fresh mint, chopped,lightly packed |
2 cups water |
2 cups white vinegar |
4 cups sugar (1 cup for each cup juice, taste the juice before adding more sugar, & if not minty enough add a few) |
green food coloring |
Directions:
1. Combine apple chunks with water and mint in a saucepan.
2. Cook until apples are mushy.
3. Add vinegar, return to boil.
4. Boil covered for 5 minutes.
5. Pour into a Jelly bag and strain.
6. Measure juice into a large pot.
7. Add the same amount of sugar cup for cup with the juice.
8. Heat& stir until sugar has dissolved and a full roiling boil is reached.
