How to Keep Mint
Dear Aunt Daisy, Could you please tell me through The Listener if there is a way of. preserving mint for use during the winter, "Mint of Morrinsville." You can dry mint, either by tying it in bunches and hanging it up in a dry warm place till really brittle, and then enclosing in paper-bags to keep it clean. The dry leaves can be pulled off and the stalks thrown away, or pull off the leaves before drying, spread them on paper, and dry in a cool oven with the door ajar to let air circulate, or in a sun-porch. Then crush the leaves to a rough powder, and keep in a tin or jat. Some prefer to wash the mint, put the leaves through the mincer, and then stir in sugar, about half as much in quantity. Mix oe ‘and seal in an airtight jar.
