Drain through a sieve and bring to a boil with the apple juice, lemon juice and sugar. Cook for about 4 minutes until bubbly, stir in the mint liqueur and cook until a drop of jam jells when placed on a frozen saucer.

Distribute between sterilized jars. Store in the refrigerator.
To preserve the jam for longer, you will need to process the jars according to manufacturer's instructions, or visit http://nchfp.uga.edu/.
