Basil Jelly image

The pretty green jelly is really good with cream cheese as an appetizer on crackers. I also like to combine a jar with 1 cup of barbecue sauce and simmer cocktail meatballs in the mixture. I grow fresh basil find the flavor so much better than the dried basil.

This jelly is a bit too sweet for my taste, but I think it would be great as a glaze for grilled chicken or fish.
