As seen in Honolulu Magazine -Like a Warm Hug on a Rainy Morning: Trying Ali‘i Kula Lavender’s Ready-to-Bake Scones and Liliko‘i Jelly at Home
February 13, 2020
After visiting Ali’i Kula Lavender Farm years ago, Honolulu Magazine’s Katrina Valcourt did what anyone would do, followed us on Instagram. It was there she became inspired to bring home the flavors of our favorite freshly baked Lavender Scone and Lavender Liliko’i Jelly. Here she depicts the ease of our ready-to-bake scone mix and basks in the enjoyment of bright lilikoi and comforting lavender together.
I took the scones out of the 425-degree oven after about 12 minutes, slightly underdone because I didn’t want them too dry. They tasted just like they smelled, comforting and light. I slathered one with the lavender liliko‘i jelly and found it to be the perfect accompaniment, enhancing the delicate lavender flavor and adding a bit of sweetness that wasn’t too tart. Even my coffee tasted better after a bite of scone, everything suddenly bright and fruity. I went back for a second one while they were still warm, then regretted eating so much. Six scones that were just a little larger probably would’ve been the perfect size, after all.
