Mint Marmalade

Oh Yeah this has such a wonderful flavor and makes the house smell so Grand......i reall hope you try this one.....I think you will love it....;-)

Cut the apples in thick slices, but do not peel them or remove the core. Place the apples, the water, the lemon juice and the mint leaves in a large saucepan. Let them come to a boil and simmer, with the saucepan open, for approximately 10 minutes.
Mash the apples with a wooden spoon and boil them for another 15 minutes or until they become a pulp.
Strain the mixture through a cheese cloth in a bowl and let it sit overnight. Measure the juice and put it back into the saucepan.
Add 1 cup of warmed up sugar for every cup of juice and stir over the fire until the sugar has dissolved.
Boil until it sets. Add a few drops of color into the mixture, until it has the desired coloring.
Take the saucepan off the heat and let it sit for 2 minutes.
Empty the mixture into warm, sterilized jars.
When they have cooled off, seal them and place labels with the date of preparation.

I've made jams and jellies many times, but I've never 'warmed' the sugar. I just wanted to check your meaning on that, as this is a recipe I would like to try. Also, is that 2 cups packed mint leaves, or just loose pack? Thanks! Great post. - Natalie
