This brings back good memories of attending weddings as a kid and the mints that were always on the tables at the reception...only they weren't homemade :) I never heard of making your own - that's wonderful! Thank you so much for sharing the recipe ~ I will tuck it away for possible weddings to come!<BR/>Debhomespun livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07520148530306239072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-6404230619772864832008-03-28T11:42:00.000-06:002008-03-28T11:42:00.000-06:00Abiding,We always must taste the mints.

Do try!<BR/><BR/>Clarice, wouldn't it be fun to do this together one day? Maybe for one of your daughters' weddings?<BR/><BR/>Thimbleanna,<BR/>I'm glad you asked the questions. I made an addendum in my post for everyone to see, but you were right in supposing that I froze them. It's the easiest way and safest way to ensure a tasy and pretty mint that doesn't get smashed.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your comments everyone. I always like hearing from you and knowing that you're "out there."<BR/><BR/>Blessings,<BR/>JodyGumbo Lilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02747138637571716591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6095103946834851624.post-77462775423517484192008-03-28T11:13:00.000-06:002008-03-28T11:13:00.000-06:00What a wonderful tradition!
