Mint Lemon Jam

And I grow in a small bowl at home for decorated cakes so that always fresh is at hand
And in summer in the village we drink tea only with mint or currant leaves.
A family will gather, everyone only recognizes such tea

Somehow our leaf tea did not take root. Earlier in the country they drank from cherry leaves, currants, strawberries. The dacha remained in the city with my mother ... And now we have more packaged ones. Tomorrow, as I will make mint jam, today I closed the strawberry jam with mint. For children, I often bake pancakes for breakfast. This is just right for them.

the leaf did not take root. Earlier in the country they drank from cherry leaves, currants, strawberries

we also drink in bags, right to the bags, mint leaves and add to the cup

closed the strawberry jam with mint today

Lena, what about the recipe?

Tinochka, planted mint, thinking about this recipe, I hope to grow up! Some varieties are different, even chocolate!

[Rada-dms]

Rada-dms, Olya, you, my dear, will grow up and try it out, tell me be sure, I am planning different mint for the next year, in this, you know, in connection with my very lovely circumstances, you will not spoil much

[Tina]

Tina, Tomorrow in the light of day I will take a picture of the jar and lay it out.
But I didn't finish adding the leaves to the bag. The circumstances are so pretty !!!! Pah pah pah on you.

Tomorrow, in the light of day, I'll take a picture of the jar and put it out.

I'm waiting, I just have strawberries on the way

The circumstances are so pretty !!!!

Thank you

p. from. thanks to Valya, girls and separately Irishka Tumanchik for ideas and recipes

I would take it and put it in a separate recipe. I think many will come in handy)
on health

[Tumanchik]

Tumanchik,

I would take it and put it in a separate recipe. I think many will come in handy)

do you think worth it?

[Tumanchik]

Tumanchik, do you think it's worth it?

certainly worth it. and also, like the less you cook, the greener the color.

[Tumanchik]

Tumanchik,

and also, like the less you cook, the greener the color.

I wonder if anyone really got green?
when I poured the tarragon infusion (not mint !!!!) the color was green. on the word cast everything and ended

pancake but what a taste !!!!!! figs with him with color

Girls, my honey turned out straight, And in color, and in taste, and in texture. Indeed, figs with him, with an emerald color, if only it was tasty and healthy

[Belka13]

Belka13, Olga! And honey reminds me of jam)))))))

[aprelinka]

aprelinka, Elena, only honey is too sweet for me, but I liked the jam

I tried the recipe. At the infusion stage, everything was according to plan, I could smell both mint and lemon. After cooking with sugar, the consistency turned out as described, but the smell completely disappeared (((. I added 800 g of sugar, it seems to me very sweet. What is my puncture, we can only guess.

[Elvira]

Elvira, and how long did they cook? My scent does not disappear anywhere

The taste of mint jam is like this !!!!! Or tarragon?

[Twig]

Twig, I don't have tarragon, but from mint jam-syrup I'm really bastard

Yesterday I brought a bunch of mint, I will experiment.
Tarragon sowed, something does not sprout :(

[Veta]

Veta, this year nothing came out of herbs at all .. not even basil

[Tina]

Tina, but here, on the contrary, only grass grows. The rest is the same size as when disembarking.So this year I will dry dill, parsley and make mint jam

[Belka13]

I only have dill :))
Parsley is just emerging from the ground, 1-2cm. The sorrel was planted, it did not rise. Tarragon is wormwood, it should grow like a weed. But no.
Mint, it itself appears as a weed, and two varieties.
Basil is thin, but last year I made a tincture from it. Pertussin

Near the strawberry some sort of smelly has grown. I thought it was a cucumber. But I, in my right mind, could not put a seed in there. I thought that when I was watering it with a hose, the seed was brought there. Left to grow. Cucumbers have barely grown the third leaf, and this smelly is already meter high. The leaves are smooth enough, tender, tendrils like a cucumber. But not a single flower. What kind of smelly is this, and it gets in the way of strawberries, and I wonder what will grow
I am a beginner gardener, my plants are fighting for survival.

By the way, I grow basil in a flower bed, it's beautiful.



Belka13, I nibbled more trees, I also made jam
In short, a year of exotic jams.

[Twig]

Twig, we don't have trees nearby, only hazel And from it, probably, no one has made jam yet
Yes, the year is really peculiar

and how long did they cook?

30-35 minutes. What is most interesting, I made lemonade from the same mint, there is a smell. Next time I add more mint, I'll try to cook it less.

[Twig]

Twig,

The taste of mint jam is like this !!!!! Or tarragon?

Let's just say the mint syrup is delicious, but the tarragon-mint syrup is more expressive! more tart and bright

I put less sugar and cook a little bit, but I need the consistency of syrup, not thick jam

ps: menthol mint made a more fragrant syrup than lemon

So! Did I miss something? Can I cook mint tarragon jam?

[Belka13]

Belka13, Yes! right now, I'll bungle a separate recipe, so that Vali won't flood, we'll be friends with recipes !!!!

[aprelinka]

aprelinka, Elena, wow, I'm waiting!
And I'll repeat the mint-lemon at least one more time. Also a triple portion Colleagues appreciated, home approved. I bought small jars. But the mint will grow a little.
And by the way, after cooling the jam, I liked it too.

30-35 m

try 10-15 minutes, that's enough

And by the way, after cooling the jam, I liked it too.

I like the present the most

I cooked it too! Only I threw less sugar, it turned out syrup.
Lifehack-syrups I pour into glass juice bottles, it is convenient to use. Pour cottage cheese or just drink some water. Wow we have a downpour

The color turned out to be pinkish, because mint of different varieties, including wild mint with a lilac tint.

Lifehack-syrups I pour into glass juice bottles, it is convenient to use.

I pour juices this way, including in glass milk and kefir bottles with screw caps. Indeed, very convenient

The color turned out to be pinkish

great

I’ll go and cook some jelly, but I don’t have any scales in the village.

[Loremia]

Loremia, I think, it is possible by eye, or in comparison with the packaging of something with a known weight, in any case, not jam, so the syrup will turn out

The 10 liter saucepan is out, Tinochka! sliced. Sugar 10 kg to take? I'll buy more lemons.
The mint on the lawn is not mown ...

[Loremia]

Loremia, not, 10 kg. you will hardly have a lot of 4 kg of mint ... and what, can not you estimate? well, in comparison with a kg of sugar, for example, how much mint that turned out there .. I can run a glass to pick it up and weigh it if necessary

[V-tina]

V-tina, not in service, but in friendship, look please! I have buckets of mint here, and scales ... at home in an apartment, in another area even the nearest store is 5 km walk.

[Loremia]

Loremia, I'm running away, wait a little, my princess just went to bed

[Tina]

Tina, of course I will wait!
My princess is asleep, watered flowers, cut mint, carried it in a saucepan - assistant

[Loremia]

Loremia, in a glass 55 grams in total, this is without thick branches, only the upper ones, thick and tamped to the limit, it turns out 60 grams with thick branches, 240 grams in a liter. tamped mint, then yes, you need 10 kg of sugar, but this is how much there is then that jam I make a maximum of two batches, we have enough ..
If you have a whole 10-liter saucepan tamped down, do not take 10 kg of sugar anyway, do at least twice as little, except for mint, it will just taste more saturated



Loremia, dry some of the mint, then add to tea and even to the bath, the aroma is summer and soothes incredibly

watered flowers, cut mint, wore it in a saucepan - assistant

What a smart girl, and ours is still small and capricious

How old is your little one? Ours collects everything: mint, currants, strawberries. So we cook the jam I only have 1 lemon and 1 kg of sugar, so tomorrow we will go camping
Mint was dried also last year.
Our dacha is far away, that's how it turns out to come, and we are glad to any blade of grass
Sorry, I'm writing off topic

[Loremia]

Loremia, On the 8th of 10 months will be)
this jam is not for everyone, can you take your time to cook with the whole portion? my eldest son didn’t like it, I water the cottage cheese and make lemonade, and my husband doesn’t care what is there, as long as it’s sweet

[Teen]

Teen and we are the same: curd and lemonade, any sweet for my husband!

[Loremia]

Loremia, then boil the mint, and tomorrow for sugar and lemons)

I also dried mint last year, our dacha is far away,

try to add when taking a bathroom, I really like

Thank you so much for the tips, 4 lemons and 4 kg of sugar, right?
I try to use mint everywhere, I'll try it in the bath Thanks for the advice!

Is your saucepan tamped down or just poured?

We can say that it was packed with all the forces of the girl's team, but we just didn't jump
The same amount is growing. Maybe she can be mowed from the lawn, otherwise I regret everything.

Take about 4-5 kg ​​of sugar and lemons, 800-900 grams, it will be just right)

[Teen]

The bookkeeper of me is seedy
Teen! But there is you - my salvation in the night!

[Loremia]

Loremia, if that - tomorrow we will count, otherwise we are still such princesses who often wake up at night bye-bye

Good dreams to Her Majesty of the mint-lemon kingdom! Sweet dreams to babies!
