Dry the mint leaves and put them in an ice cube dish in your freezer. I really like to chew on cold mint leaves. It’ freshens your breath. You could also learn how to make mint extract from the leaves. With mint extract you could make many dishes such as mint ice cream. If you want to use just the leaves in a recipe I would recommend Turkish cuisine. They use a lot of mint leaves in weird combinations with things like chili powder.

Can I preserve them somehow or freeze them or something else? Advice or recipes would be nice.

I’ve never actually did any of these methods. I know that people used to bake the pumpkin before processing for pies. I found this website for you. I hope it helps. It has several methods for preserving pumpkins.

God Bless and Enjoy!

Is there a recipe out there?

Use a thickener like arrow root, or cornflour (or cornstarch). Mix a level teaspoonful in some cold water in a cup, add to the sweetened juice mixture, heat until it boils and thickens.

Two I am doing right now are plums and strawberries. I find that just a little sugar is fine but if I add the 5-6 cups of sugar required in most recipes it becomes a terribly sweet jam that is not palatable. What I want is a type of ‘preserve’ not a jam. Does anyone have any good recipes for low sugar canning?

Use fruit juice — like white grape juice, and then substitute regular pectin with no sugar needed pectin.

And two massive bags of cherries for a quid! I’ve been munching away at them but now they’re starting to turn.

Do you know any way I can use them in a recipe or to preserve them?

Make a cherry Brandy sauce (if your into that sort of thing)
Put your cherrys 2 cups or so.
1/2 cup of sugar.
1/2 cup of water.
dab of butter.
1-3 tablespoons cherry brandy (depending on taste)
in a pan
Melt your butter,
add your sugar,
add your water,
then add your cherries, cook for a few minutes.
and add your brandy last.

Goes great on crepes, ice cream, pancakes, waffles.

Another idea is to pitt whatever your not going to use, blend it up, save it as a puree and make a sauce/ice cream/sorbet/pancakes/bread/cookies out of them later, you can freeze the puree for ages.

You can use it between layers of white cake as a filling or just toss it in the food processor if you want it to be more like jam. It is also good on ice cream.
