But what exactly can you do with lavender jelly? Here are five delicious and creative ways to incorporate this versatile ingredient into your cooking.
Using lavender jelly on toast with fresh fruit is a favorite of ours!
1. Lavender Jelly Glaze for Roasted Meats
Lavender Jelly makes a fantastic glaze for roasted meats like chicken, pork, or lamb. Simply melt a few spoonfuls of the jelly in a saucepan, and add a splash of balsamic vinegar and a pinch of sea salt. Brush this glaze over your meat during the last 10 minutes of roasting for a sweet, herbaceous finish that will leave your taste buds singing.
2. Elevate Your Cheese Board
Cheese boards are a popular choice for gatherings, and lavender jelly pairs beautifully with a variety of cheeses. Spread it on crackers with creamy Brie, sharp Cheddar, or tangy Goat Cheese. The subtle sweetness and floral notes of the jelly enhance the flavors of the cheese, creating a delightful contrast that will impress your guests.
3. Lavender Jelly as a Breakfast Spread
We all need some unique breakfast spreads in the pantry. Start your day with a touch of luxury by spreading Lavender Jelly on your morning toast, bagels, or croissants. It’s a refreshing alternative to traditional fruit jams and adds a unique flavor that pairs well with butter, cream cheese, or even Greek yogurt.
4. GOURMET GRILLED CHEESE
Looking for unique grilled cheese recipes? Lavender Jelly might not be the first thing that comes to mind when making a grilled cheese sandwich, but trust us—it's a game-changer. Spread a thin layer of lavender jelly on the inside of the bread before adding your favorite cheeses, like Brie, Gouda, or Gruyère. The jelly's subtle sweetness pairs perfectly with the savory cheese, creating a gourmet twist on this classic comfort food.
5. Bake It Into Desserts
Love lavender desserts? Add a gourmet twist to your baked goods by incorporating Lavender Jelly. Use it as a filling for thumbprint cookies, a glaze for pound cakes, or swirl it into cheesecake batter for a floral-infused treat. The possibilities are endless, and the results are always impressive.
Whether you're a seasoned chef or just looking to try something new, our Lavender Jelly is the perfect addition to your pantry.
