Lemon Verbena and Summer Fruit GeléeJohn Kernick

Brush against a lemon verbena plant and its long, narrow leaves will release a transcendently clean, lemony scent. A little of the herb goes a long way, and it plays well with both ripe summer fruit and the light dryness of rosé. All the elements come together here in a suave gelée.

Cooks' note:

Gelée can be chilled up to 3 days (before unmolding).
