Directions
Mojito Jelly – Lime and Mint Jelly,Came up with this when making Dandelion Jam and drinking a mojito. Try some on a fresh grilled tuna steak, lamb or pork chops, melt and mix into a fruit salad, add to home made salad dressing or add to a salsa… Great for gift giving.,easy enough to make, altho mine didn’t set up like jam or jelly, it’s more a sauce…but after reading previous reviews, all is not lost! Looks like it can be used in cooking, salads, and more! I’ll bet with a little creativity, would make a fun salad dressing!,As I’m a bit short on jars at the moment, I added the pectin, waited for the liquid to cool, and then decanted the jelly into ice cube bags and put in the freezer for later use. (Freezer jams are great for lazy people like me!) I did have a little taste of it; and even though used treble the amount of mint that the recipe required, it still tasted 90% of lime and only 10% of mint. That was a bit disappointing, but nevertheless, it’ll be lovely for a whole myriad of things, including bases for mojitos!
