Fresh Mint Jelly

  1. Place the mint in the jar of a blender with 2 cups water; blend for 10 seconds, until the mint is finely chopped.
  2. Place in a medium saucepot; bring to a boil.
  3. Remove from the heat; steep for 45 minutes to infuse the flavor.
  4. Strain into a bowl through a fine-mesh strainer lined with damp cheesecloth, squeezing out all liquid to yield 1 3/4 to 2 cups liquid.
  5. Return the mint water to a clean saucepan; add the lemon juice and sugar.
  6. Bring to a boil; cook for 1 minute; skim the surface.
  7. Add the pectin; return to a full boil; cook 1 minute more.
  8. Remove from heat; stir in the food coloring.
  9. Skim the surface.
  10. Pour into an 8-inch-square baking pan; let cool on a rack.
  11. Cover with plastic wrap; chill overnight.
  12. Run a paring knife around edges to loosen the jelly from the pan.
  13. Slice into 1/2-inch cubes; use an offset spatula to lift them from pan, and transfer to a serving dish.
