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.

Mary,
ReplyDeleteWe eat it on homemade bread, but I'm thinking it would be yummy on pancakes and waffles, too. :)
Thanks for checking in. :)
Blessings and ((Hugs)) to you,

I am such a fan of lavender...I grow it all over my garden :) My husband says it has become a weed...but now, I can share that I could make this jelly and enjoy it all winter long.
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing...and what a treat to have found you ;0)

Thanks for visiting my blog, Lisa. How exciting to land on this post when I stopped by yours! I love jelly making, and I'm hoping to try some herb jellies this year. This looks so pretty, and I can only imagine how lovely it must smell :-)
ReplyDeleteYour jelly looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteHi! Stopping by from MBC. Great blog!
Have a nice day!
A lady I knew some years ago made this. It is the most delicious stuff! I always felt a little bit like a wood nymph or a fairy eating it since it's made from flowers. I've copied the recipe to use for my daughter when she gets a little older- I think it will be fun for tea parties. Now, to track down violets!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of lavender jelly before. What does it taste like? It sure does look good in the jar though. :)
ReplyDeleteI also enjoyed reading your last post about the nice day that you spent with your children during the rain indoors. It was a lovely story.
I found your blog today via a friend's blog, and I am really glad I did. It's a nice one. I have decided to "follow along" with you. :)
