An unusual preserve made by simmering fresh mint leaves in a sugar syrup until they release a refreshing aroma. Its green color and cooling flavor add a distinctive touch to the breakfast table.
Combine the sugar and water in a pot and simmer over low heat until syrupy.
When the syrup begins to thicken, add the mint leaves and boil for a few more minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand.
Add the lemon juice and boil for a few more minutes. Important: Drop a little onto a plate; it is ready if it leaves a trail.
Pour the boiling jam into sterilized jars and seal them. Turn the jars upside down to cool, then store in a cool, dark place.
Important: Add the mint leaves during the final minutes of cooking to keep their aroma from evaporating; avoid boiling them for too long. This recipe contains no flour, milk, or eggs; it is plant-based and gluten-free. Fill sterilized jars with the boiling jam and store in a cool place.
