JALAPENO MINT JELLY
My mother sent me a plant that apparently had mint with it and now it has taken over a small part of my flower beds. Looking for something to do with it all I came upon this jelly. This makes a small batch and comes from "Small Batch Canning" by Topp and Howard.

Steps:
- Bring 1 1/2 cups mint and water to a boil in a small saucepan. When I am in a hurry I do not "finely" chop the mint at this point. Remove from heat, cover and let stand for 30 minutes to steep. Strain through a lined sieve pressing with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible; discard mint.
- Combine mint liquid, sugar, vinegar, lemon juice and peppers in a large stainless steel saucepan. Bring to a full boil over high heat and boil hard for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in pectin and remaining finely chopped mint.
- Ladle into sterilized jars and process in water bath for 5 minutes or pour into jars and invert for 5 minutes. Turn back and you should hear the seals pop close.

Tips:
- Use fresh, ripe jalapeños for the best flavor. If you like it spicy, keep the seeds. If you prefer a milder jelly, remove the seeds before mincing.
- Wear gloves when handling jalapeños to prevent the capsaicin from burning your skin.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the jelly by placing a small spoonful on a cold plate. If it wrinkles when you push it with your finger, it is ready.
- Store the jelly in a clean, airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. You can also freeze the jelly for up to 6 months.
