Hi - I have half a packet of fresh mint left over from making Pimms at the weekend 
If I chop it up and pour on some vinegar, will it keep for mint sauce next time we have lamb? The only other thing I can thing of to do with it is a dip, but haven't really got anything to eat this week to go with it - again, more of a lamb thing. Any ideas appreciated. Oh - and I also have some dill.

Ooh - with fresh mint I make a variation of mint sauce
Chop mint
Finely chop a shallot or spring onion
Mix together in a bowl with vinegar and sugar to taste
This is best if left for a few days in the fridge and is lovely with new potatoes!Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -
Why not freeze it. Either in water in icecube tray or just a in a bag in the freezer.
This comes from a woman who killed off the mint plant her mother only gave her last week

Chop finely about ½ cup of mint. Mix into 1 cup of natural yoghurt with 2 tbsp lemon juice.
Keeps in the fridge for a couple of weeks.
Lovely cool dressing for baked spuds, salads and goes great with curries and other hot spicy food to cool it down!Here I go again on my own....0 -
