I bought a small mint plant to make ice cream. Unfortunately the plant started developing rust so had to strip it of its leaves. Now I know why I don't have mint in my garden even though it is suppose to grow like weeds.
With a pile of non 'rusty' leaves I decided to try my hand at making mint sauce. Mint sauce and lamb is not my cup of tea but Mr Redneck like his with it. Didn't realise it was that easy to make. The sauce will keep for a few months in the fridge.

5. Pour into sterilised bottles and keep in the fridge.

hi, is there a difference if i use apple cidar or just white vinegar for this recipe?
Hi island,
You can use apple cider vinegar for this. Can't tell you what the taste difference would be as apple cider vinegar is not cheap here.
Does this sauce turn black or hold it's color?
It hold its colour.
