Fresh picked herbs (and flowers) processed at their peak for wonderful flavor. Herb jellies are wonderful on muffins, scones, cheesecakes or in tea.
Flower Jellies are great on biscuits for breakfast or on toast and make a wonderful glaze for a cheesecake. Substitute whenever you might use fruit jelly.
Savory herb jellies such as Nasturtium or Cilantro blend well with cheese (pipe onto crackers) or sour cream for appetizers or with mayonnaise in dressings. Wonderful with cream cheese on bagels, crackers, scones, waffles or toast. Or mix with sour cream and use to top blintzes or coffee cake.
Herb/Spiced Fruit Jams & Jellies

Lavender Our first herbal jelly and very popular. True English lavender flowers have a warm, sweet gently herbal flavor--very floral. Try as a glaze on pastry.

Rose Petal Damask roses give an ethereal color and flavor to this bright cheery jelly. Hereabouts this is besting Raspberry as a favorite.

Nasturtium Ruby red jelly with the classic snappy flavor of Nasturtium flowers. Slather on toast or use as a secret ingredient to finish a sauce. Out of stock till summer 2012.

Pansy Essence of springtime--a sort of grape-berry flavor with a hint of mint akin to the taste of Johnny-Jump Ups in a salad. Out of stock till spring 2012.

Rosemary-Garlic with Szechwan Pepper Herbal, tangy, and nippy, but not hot.

Spiced Huckleberry with Bay
Huckleberry-Lavender
Raspberry-Cardamom Out of stock till summer 2012.
