Mint Sauce for Lamb

Ingredients

 * 3 large handfuls of mint leaves, (stems removed)
 * 3 teaspoons granulated sugar
 * 4 tablespoons wine vinegar

Directions

 * 1) Wash and shake the mint leaves, sprinkle then with the sugar and chop them rather finely. Put in a bowl.
 * 2) Heat the vinegar and pour it over the mint.
 * 3) Add more sugar if you think the sauce is too sharp.
 * 4) Serve hot or cold with roasted lamb or other meat.

Alternate Recipe
Use lemon juice instead of vinegar and you can also add a little olive oil. This is not traditional mint sauce, being much less violent in flavor, but it is exceptionally good.
