  • Hmmm...the title is still a little misleading. I would definitely never think of vanilla as being an herb. Lavender is a little iffy too. But using flavored sugars is a cool idea for jam making so thanks!

  • You're right, brendarrow. The title we had didn't describe the tip well. We changed it! Thanks, Meredith of CHOW
