Raspberry Champagne Jelly from Robert Lambert

Raspberry Jelly with Rose Geranium 

From renowned artisan Robert Lambert comes this vibrant raspberry jelly infused with Champagne-scented rose geranium flowers. California-grown raspberries are painstakingly hand pressed through a fine-mesh screen to remove the seeds and create a velvety smooth texture. As with all of his preserves, Lambert uses more fruit than sugar, resulting in an elegant, rather than cloying, jelly. Ideal for spreading across a hot, buttered biscuit or corn muffin, Raspberry Champagne Jelly also makes an excellent filling for homemade thumbprint cookies.

About the producer

Robert Lambert is many things: Former aspiring rock star, champion of heritage fruits and preserves icon whose marmalades, jellies and jams have garnered a devoted following since the late 1990s. Combining the best fruits harvested from small orchards with fragrant botanicals and, often, fine wine, he coaxes out intense and balanced fruit flavors. Lambert’s innovative techniques are also what sets him apart. Citrus peels are boiled in juice (rather than the more common water) for a boost of flavor, sugar is sparingly used and artificial pectin is never added, instead relying only on natural pectin created by the fruits themselves. This handmade, labor-intensive method yields small batches, but with an unparalleled quality that has captivated Lambert’s fans, ourselves included.
