    Years ago i stupidly planted mint straight into the garden which now means we end up with loads of the stuff.

    I was going to make some kind of mint chutney/relish/sauce with it but can't seem to find a recipe i like the look of (anyone got any?)

    What would you do with it?

    I would vote for mojitos too!

    I'd read about freezing mint leaves in an ice cube tray with a little water but I've tweaked this idea a little by freezing the mint leaves in freshly squeezed lime juice instead. This means that I can have a mojito whenever I fancy it, even if I don't have any fresh limes or mint at the time.

    Mix a good handful of chopped mint into natural yogurts & use it as a marinade for chicken.

    Chop a generous handful of mint, add the rind of 2 oranges, mix into a jar of redcurrant jelly. Makes a lovely alternative to mint sauce. A great accompaniment to lamb. I always have a jar of this in my fridge since trying it a few years ago.
