Homemade Mint Sauce Recipe
Oh the smell of this sauce with its vinegary, sweetness instantly makes me think of roast lamb and the homemade version of this sauce takes it to the next level. This simple yet flavourful condiment is perfect for adding a touch of brightness to meats and veggies. A perfect with lamb at Easter or your next Sunday family get to gather.
We think you will love how much brighter this homemade sauce is than the store bought version. You can also adjust the sweetness and texture to your own liking. And stored in a sealed jar, it will stay fresh in the fridge for a few weeks.
Ingredients
- Fresh mint - picked and washed. Fresh mint has such a vibrant flavour, you can purchase from your local supermarket or try growing you own! We love growing our own mint, it's such an easy herb to grow, give it a go!
- Cider vinegar - we love the flavour and health benefits that cider vinegar brings to this recipe, but you can also use white wine vinegar.
- Brown sugar - for a rich sweetness, you can adjust this to taste.
See recipe card at the end of the page for quantities.
Instructions
- Steep the mint leaves - Pick and wash the mint and place in a bowl, then add a cup of boiling water to blanch the leaves. This will take around five minutes, but keep an eye on them as you don't want them turning black. Once ready, strain off the water and once cool enough squeeze out any excess water from the leaves. Then chop the leaves to your desired leave of coarseness, we recommend chopping them well to create a fine texture.
- Prepare the sauce - simply mix the vinegar and sugar, stirring until the sugar has dissolved.
- Combine the ingredients - combine the mint with the sauce and mix well. Taste and season with salt and pepper, then mix again.
