I've been looking over a recipe from Better Homes & G for Herb Jelly. They, of course, strain the liquid of the herbs once they have done the initial boiling. They then proceed in the normal way to canning the jelly.
I'm wondering if I can put a flower or leaf, depicting the contents, in the jar before the water bath? I was thinking of Mint Jelly or maybe trying to make some Sage Jelly, except what would I use a sweet Sage Jelly with? Chicken, pork, ravioli, cheese? What about Rosemary Jelly perhaps mixed with Mint for Lamb? Any suggestions?
Argh... just went away for about 40 min. to come back and see I had never press 'submit' - grrrr, dotty old dragn.
