LAVENDER JELLY

    Lavender Jelly

    Source: The Forgotten Art of Flower Cookery

    2 1/4 cups bottled apple juice (the clearest you can find)
    1 cup lavender flowers
    3 1/2 cups granulated sugar
    1/2 (4 ounce) bottle liquid pectin

    Place apple juice and lavender in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Cover and remove from the heat. Let stand for 15 minutes, then strain.

    Return 2 cups of this juice to the heat, add the sugar, and stirring constantly, bring to a full boil. Stir in the liquid pectin and bring to a rolling boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

    Remove from the heat, skim off the foam, and pour into jelly glasses with a sprig of jelly in each glass and seal. Process for 5 minutes in a boiling water bath.

    Makes about 5 medium glasses.
