Afternoon tea in the garden is one of my favorite pastimes. If you happen to grow lavender, why not make lavender jelly for your scones? Here's a recipe for this wonderful creation:
Lavender Jelly
3 1/2 cups water
1/2 cups dried lavender
1 3/4 oz box powdered pectin OR 3 oz liquid pectin
juice of 1/2 lemon
4 cups sugar
Bring water to a boil. Add lavender flowers and steep for 20 minutes. Strain and add lemon juice and pectin; stirring until dissolved. Reboil and add sugar. Maintain a rolling boil for 2-4 minutes while stirring. Transfer to
5 - 1/2 pint sterile jars. Enjoy!
*If you don't grow lavender, purchase culinary lavender such as Bleu Lavande lavender herbal tea.
