Mint Sauce is a sauce made from finely chopped mint leaves, soaked in vinegar, and a small amount of sugar. Occasionally the juice from a squeezed lime is added. The sauce should have the consistency of double cream. In British and Irish cuisine it is traditionally used as an accompaniment to roast lamb or, in some areas, mushy peas.

Mint sauce is a common sauce applied as a marinade to poultry, fish or meat, most

notably lamb. Mint sauce and mint jelly are traditional foods that accompany a variety of lamb dishes as seasonings or condiments for the meat. Mint sauce can also be used as an ingredient for dips that combine the sauce with mayonnaise and yogurt or as a means to enhance the flavors of potatoes and vegetables.
