Basil and jelly

NOTE: I forgot to mention that I did add a little green food coloring just because I wanted to.  You don't have to..............

 I made basil jelly again this year.  It's spicy Basil  and Thai Basil, which has a sort of licorice taste to me.

I used a different recipe this time.  I like the recipe except  I prefer to use the powdered pectin.  I think it makes it a little thicker.  I may have used a little tiny bit more juice from the basil   It turned out jellied but I just like it a little firmer.  My husband really likes it over cream cheese on a cracker.

 This recipe called for a little vinegar.  We do like vinegar here on anything.

A little less sugar used in this recipe also.  The taste is a little stronger which I like.

For dinner a few nights ago I baked chicken  cut into strips, mixed sour cream, ranch dressing and dry packet of dressing.  spread over the chicken sprinkled with parmesan and baked about maybe 50 minutes.  Carrots and rice on side.  Children ate it.
