LIME MARMALADE
2 C thinly sliced limes
6 C cold water
sugar
Place lime slices and water in non-metal container and let stand for 24 hours. Place fruit and water into an enamel or stainless steel pan and boil for 15 minutes. Let cool and let stand another 24 hours. Take three cups fruit and water combination and add three cups sugar. Boil 20 minutes, stirring frequently. Pour into hot clean jars. Seal firmly and put in boiling water bath to cover for five minutes. Continue with remaining fruit and water mixture until gone. (Small batches, as in three cups at a time, makes a more delicate marmalade.)
MINT JELLY
about 7 6 oz. jelly glasses
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
3 cups sugar
1/4 cup water
4 cups apple juice
green food coloring, optional
Wash mint and chop fine. Add 2 tablespoons of the sugar and all of the water, and let stand for several hours, or overnight. Bring to boiling point, then strain and set aside. Heat the apple juice until boiling, and slowly add the sugar, stirring. When you cannot stir the boil down, reduce the heat to keep it at a gentle rolling boil, and boil until the jellying stage is reached. This is
determined by allowing a small amount of the juice to drop from a metal spoon. When the last 2 drops run together and sheet off from the spoon the jellying stage is reached and the jelly should be removed from the heat at once. Quickly add the food coloring, if using, and 2 tablespoons of the strained mint juice. Pour into hot, sterilized jars and seal.
