Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups water
3/4 cup cider vinegar

6 cups sugar
5 drops green vegetable coloring

Add the sugar and vegetable coloring, return to heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves. When the syrup is at a full rolling boil, add the pectin, boil for 1/2 minute and remove from heat. Place 2 basil leaves in the bottom of each of 5 hot, sterilized 8-ounce jelly glasses . Strain the jelly into glasses through a fine sieve. Cool and cover with a layer of thin paraffin. When the paraffin has hardened, cover the glasses and store.

This jelly is a bit too thick for my taste. I would recommend adding a bit more water next time.

I had some trouble finding fresh basil. I ended up using dried basil and it worked just fine.
