Do you have any recipes for pineappple mint?

Asked by MyNewtBoobs (19059points) May 8th, 2011

I have a bunch of pineapple mint, and I really don’t know what to do with it. Unfortunately, when I Google for recipes, I get stuff with both mint and pineapples as ingredients, but not pineapple mint. Suggestions?

I don’t know. I would honestly just treat it like mint but also in more savory applications. Start with trial and error, at least for your own palate. GQ

I’ve never worked with it, so this is all I can come up with:

“The leaves of this plant can be used to make apple mint jelly, 2 as well as a flavoring in dishes such as apple mint couscous. It is also often used to make a mint tea, as a garnish, or in salads.” -Jimmy Wales

“The leaves of this plant are often used to flavour teas, jellies, or salads.” -lotro-wiki

“Apple mint is frequently used in cooking and as a garnish in beverages and salads. The leaves are a common ingredient in mint jellies, relishes, and chutneys, and sauces often served with lamb, pork, and other meat dishes. In addition, a handful of apple mint leaves adds a unique flavor to a couscous or fruit salad or a pitcher of ice water, and sprigs can be added to mint juleps and desserts.” -wisegeek

Try google “wooly mint” or “apple mint” recipes too.

I dont have a recipe on hand but Ive made sorbets with pineapple mint before. Just find a basic sorbet recipe and instead of boiling the fruit or whatever in that recipe cook down your pineapple mint for the flavoring.

Mojitos
Tropical Flavored Iced Tea
Used to top smoothies/salads/sprinkle on dishes (esp. Chicken)

I have a large variety of mint plants. I use all of them as I do with my spearmint. I don’t treat them any differently.
