Happy Friday, friends!
Ever heard of lavender jelly?
I made some about 2 years ago, and we loved it! And while I was in my herb garden yesterday, I caught a whiff of my lavender, and remembered how delicious the jelly was.
So for those who missed it 2 years ago, here's my recipe for lavender jelly:
Lavender Jelly
3 1/2 c. water
1/2 c. dried lavender flowers
1/4 c. lemon juice
1 box (1 3/4 oz.) powdered pectin
4 c. sugar
In a large saucepan over high heat, bring water to a boil. Remove from heat. Add flowers, cover and let steep for 20 minutes. Strain mixture into a deep kettle, discarding flowers. (Your house will smell wonderful after this!)
Stir in lemon juice and pectin, making sure that pectin is dissolved. Over high heat, bring mixture to a boil; add sugar. Stir well. Return mixture to a rolling boil; let boil for 4 minutes.
After boiling, ladle hot jelly into clean jelly jars, leaving 1/4 in. headspace, wipe rims, adjust lids and rings. Process in hot water bath 10 minutes.
Makes about 5 1/2 pints.
