I love mint sauce on steamed white cabbage - lifts the flavour and makes it scrummy!
To make your own mint sauce, take a bunch of mint, remove stalks and wash it, chop it finely and place in a suitable dish with 2 level teaspoons of caster sugar. Stir in 1 tablespoon of boiling water and leave for about 5 minutes for the sugar to dissolve. Add 1-2 tablespoons of wine vinegar (malt will suffice), stir and leave for about an hour before serving.
Recipe courtesy of Good Housekeeping cookery book, which also offers recipes for:
carrots with mint and lemon
mint and apple jelly
mint and rosemary stuffing
minted pear vinaigrette
potted cheese with mint
Just ask if you want me to type any of the above recipes folks.
I would suggest making the mint sauce in larger batches if your family enjoys a decent dollop of mint sauce with their roast lamb.
