New things...

I have to admit that I am not one who enjoys or looks for change but sometimes I am glad I tried...
I just made a batch of citrus lavender jelly. What a gorgeous jelly! It has a taste that is difficult to describe.
Here is how I made it.
Make an infusion of organic orange peel and lavender, letting it steep for about 30 minutes.
Next, take the infusion and melt in the pectin, lemon and orange juices.
Add the sugar and boil. Check for the gel by using a spoon kept in ice water.


In the mean time, get your cans ready for water bath.


Pour hot jelly into hot cans and can them for 10 minutes in water bath and there you have it!
Unusual but wonderful flavored jelly! Great on scones or toast; whatever you like!
