Hey, did I mention I have mint coming out of my ears? I made mint jelly with it today! From scratch! As in, I picked the leaves, boiled the mint, added the sugar, added the pectin (what, exactly, IS pectin??), jarred it, and sealed the jars. For real. I actually succeeded in my very first attempt at canning! I'm going to make pickles next.
Making the jelly...
Warming the jars in hot water so they don't break when I pour really really hot jelly into them.
Sealing the jars. It worked!!
Mint jelly!!!
What happens to your stove when you don't use a big enough pan. Think sugar, burner, smoke, fire alarm...
