Lammas Blueberry Cornbread with Lemon Lavender Glaze

---

 Hello Magickal Beings! 
Happy First Harvest, and Blessed Lammas/Lughnasadh to all! I am always a little sad when Lammas rolls around because it means the almost end of summer. However, I must admit, I always get excited for all the beauty and coziness that comes with Fall: turning inward, and embracing introspection once again. 

But summer is not over yet! First we must celebrate this beautiful sabbat in honor of our first harvest. This sabbat is all about GRATITUDE, ABUNDANCE, FERTILITY, STRENGTH, MANIFESTATION, just to name a few key terms! It's the time of year to harvest all the fruits of our hard labor since the last frost this past winter. Those first seeds we planted come the spring are now growing wild with its ripened fruits on the vine. 

We have also just celebrated the Full Blueberry Moon, which is the best time to pick our ripened blueberries off the vine, and put them to use in some yummy cakes and pies! Some other notable representations of First Harvest are Corn, Lavender, Wheat, Lemons, and Breads. I thought all of these flavors would be great together in one recipe, to celebrate the season and sabbat!  So below I will be showing you how to make this Lammas Blueberry Cornbread with a Lemon Lavender Glaze!

LEMON LAVENDER GLAZE 

INGREDIENTS 

• ​1 Cup of Powdered Confectionary Sugar 
• 2-3 Tablespoons of Melted Butter 
• 1 Tablespoon + 1 Teaspoon of Lemon Juice 
• The Zest of 1 Lemon 
• 1 -2 Teaspoons of Dried Lavender Buds to taste 

DIRECTIONS 

1. ​Combine butter, powdered sugar, & lemon juice until smooth. If you want a thicker glaze, add more sugar. If you want a thinner glaze, add more lemon juice.
2.  Mix with a whisk to eliminate clumps.
3. Once you get your desired consistency, grate in the zest of your lemon to create beautiful golden yellow flakes in your glaze. This also adds a refreshing lemony tang to your glaze!
4. Add your dried lavender buds to taste. Start off with a teaspoon and taste it. Add a little more if needed. You can always add more, but you can't take out, so it's best to add a little at a time, because you don't want your lavender to overpower the lemon. The hint of lavender gives a nice softness to the tart glaze!
5. Warm it up and pour over your cornbread. I found it is best to store the glaze in a container, and pour it on your bread when you are ready to eat it. If the glaze sits on the cornbread for too long, it will make it soggy, so the bread is best not stored with the glaze on it.

EXTRA MAGICKAL TIDBITS! 

Place your cornbread on a beautiful platter and adorn with fresh cut flowers. Sunflowers are a big symbol around this time. I used these cute helianthus! Just check for bugs before putting near your food! You can use this bread platter as an offering on your Lammas altar. Or you can cut a little piece and leave as a little fairy offering outside in your garden. You can put it in a little seashell or acorn cap! Fairies LOVE their sweet cakes and breads!
