This recipe is delicious and super light perfect for summer. The mint jelly gives it a freshness that goes perfect with the squash blossoms. This year my squash plants are producing huge blossoms. Not only are they crunchy when fried but delicious as well you can taste the freshness of the blossoms.

    Star by heating up your oil to 350 F. grab your blossom and dip it in the batter let excess drip off, then dip in corn meal and put in oil. It takes about a minute per side or until golden brown on both sides. Repeat the process until you have cooked all the blossoms. let them drain on paper towels to remove excess oil.
