Borage Cucumber Jelly image

I started making my basic Borage Jelly Recipe #381762 this year and decided to use one home grown cucumber to bring out the cucumber flavor of the borage. Nice for wedding shower brunch on finger sandwiches. Use as a sweetener add to hot tea serve hot or cool tea and add ice to serve cooled.
