Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 quart blueberries (fresh or frozen)
  • 8 ounces honey (about 1 cup)
  • Zest and juice of ½ lemon
  • 1 tablespoon culinary-grade lavender buds

Instructions

  1. Lightly crush the lavender buds using a mortar and pestle to release their flavor.
  2. In a wide saucepan, combine blueberries, honey, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the berries soften; mash to desired consistency.
  3. Allow the mixture to simmer and skim off any foam that forms.
  4. Check for doneness: the jam should reach about 220°F (105°C) or pass the wrinkle test on a chilled plate.
  5. Stir in crushed lavender and remove from heat.
  6. Ladle hot jam into sterilized jars and seal. For long-term storage, process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.
