This is an easy dish, and it looks like there's nothing to it, right?
What the recipe doesn't explain is the absolutely intoxicating effect freshly ground mint will have on anybody who walks into your kitchen.
Honest, it's like catnip. The housekeeper passed through, took a deep breath, clutched the counter and said, "Oh my god, what's that smell?" I gave her a grape dipped in the sugar and she swooned with pleasure.
"Try a nectarine," I said, and soon enough we were debating which fruit tasted the most amazing.
The secretary passed through, and the housekeeper motioned her over vigorously. Then Mrs. S.'s personal assistant. Soon there were four women hovering over the food processor dipping fruit into mint sugar, until the housekeeper tore herself away.
"I gotta get out of here!" she cried.
For the record, common consensus for most amazing fruit (out of green grape, bing cherry and nectarine) with the mint sugar was: nectarine.
