Honey Bourbon Pumpkin Panna Cotta with Peach-Apricot Gelée

Last week while I was busy coding away at work I got a text from my husband saying I had received a small box. I usually ask him to open it for me because, aside from having the worst memory, if I know there is a present waiting for me somewhere I can’t stand not knowing what it is. If I have even the tiniest whiff of a surprise I will not stop until I figure it out.

This time however, I was so preoccupied with work I didn’t even bother asking what it was, and just said thanks for the heads up (so out of character for me).

Once I got home and saw the box sitting on the table, I proceeded to throw set my purse and keys down on the couch, said hello to everyone, and then I ran to the kitchen, grabbed a knife and started opening that baby up!

To my surprise it was another nicely assorted box of goodies. This one, compliments of Smucker’s. The gift box was filled with an assortment of Concord Grape Jelly, Sweet Orange Marmalade, the one thing my refrigerator has never been without for the past 20 years… Smucker’s Strawberry Preserves, and one other item I had yet to try; their “Orchard’s Finest” Peach Apricot Preserves.

I had already planned on making panna cotta for dessert this weekend, I figured I would make it a little extra special with some shortcut-gelée compliments of Smucker’s.
