SPICY LEMON-MINT JELLY
This easy jelly, which you can store in your refrigerator for a week or so, adds a jazzy note to lamb, pork, even an oily fish. The mint's coolness is balanced by tart lemon, and a tone of red-pepper flakes answers them both. Think of it as a musical riff on the old staid green mint jelly.

Steps:
- Use a vegetable peeler to remove the zest (yellow part only) from 4 of the lemons. Cut the zest into fine julienne. Remove the peel and pith from all of the lemons and cut the sections out from between the membranes.
- Place the julienned lemon peel, lemon sections, water, sugar and pepper flakes in a large nonreactive saucepan and mix well. Bring to a boil. Lower the heat slightly and simmer for 20 minutes. Place a small saucer in the freezer.
- Add the mint sprigs to the mixture and simmer for 10 minutes longer. Check the jelly by placing a spoonful on the saucer and returning it to the freezer for about 5 minutes. If the mixture jells when you push your finger through it, it is ready. If not, simmer a little longer and test again.
- Remove the pan from the heat and let cool. Remove the mint sprigs and stir in the chopped mint. Place in a clean container and store in the refrigerator.
