    Mint Sauce


    Source of Recipe


    (Kimberlyn)

    Recipe Introduction


    This is just a great, basic mint sauce to serve with lamb. Easy to make and SO much better than the bottled stuff. And don't even talk to me about mint jelly.

    List of Ingredients




    1 cup plus 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint
    1/2 cup canned beef broth
    1/3 cup minced shallots
    6 tablespoons red wine vinegar
    1/4 cup sugar
    2 teaspoons cornstarch

    Recipe



    Combine 1 cup mint, beef broth, shallots, vinegar and sugar in heavy small nonaluminum saucepan. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Simmer 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand 2 hours.

    Strain sauce into large glass measuring cup. Place cornstarch in same saucepan. Gradually whisk is sauce. Bring to simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly. Stir until sauce thickens slightly and turns translucent, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat. Cool to room temperature. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Bring to room temperature before continuing.) Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons mint. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

    Makes about 1 cup.
