MINT JELLY
One whiff is all it takes to tell what we grow on our farm-peppermint! Harvesting 300 acres is hard work, by the invigorating scent keeps our taste buds tuned for minty treats. I use fresh mint or mint oil frequently in my cooking and baking. Try this aromatic jelly on lamb or oven-fresh biscuits.-Kandy Clarke, Columbia Falls, Montana
