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!
