I planted some mint about 4 years ago in LI...
Now it's everywhere, smells great around the deck...
and is great, crushed, in fresh iced tea...
But I'm looking for a good Mint Jelly Recipe...
Anybody have a favorite?
Gotta have Mint Jelly with my Lamb... and I'd like to try to make my own...
I have done a lot of Strawberry & Peach Prserves in the past, and have a lot of Ball Jars in the basement...
I haven't found one yet that I really like on the internet yet...

Oh NO!!! Not mint JELLY with lamb! Gotta have mint sauce! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/jester.gif" alt="" />
That's fresh mint, chopped, in a vinegar based sauce. That's the way my Nana always served it. The British way.

She never wrote it down, unfortunately. The basic recipe is:
Bunch of fresh mint leaves, chopped (about 1/4 cup)
1/3 Cup boiling water
1 or 2 Tbsp. sugar, depending on how sweet you like your sauce.
Stir together to dissolve sugar & cool slightly.
Stir in:
1/3 Cup cider or white vinegar
Salt & pepper to taste.
Serve warm with roasted lamb.
I have a big pot of mint on my patio. It comes back every year & I never have to do anything but water it and pinch it back a bit. I learned to never plant mint in a garden since it takes over everything!

Much better than mint jelly, in my opinion! I always cringe when I'm served jelly with lamb in a restaurant. Way too sweet!
I've also made stuffed rolled leg of lamb on the grill with mint leaves, parsley, & lots of garlic. Delish!

If I had to eat one red meat it would be lamb. I have fond memories of my Nonna making lamb with lots of mint and LOTS of garlic. OMG....the aromas are forever cemented in my memory bank! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/cry.gif" alt="" /> Don't remember mint jelly but hey, it's the garlic/mint combo that's fantastic!! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> Contessa
