Ingredients

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

Crush the lavender buds lightly using a mortar and pestle to release their aroma.
In a wide saucepan, combine blueberries, honey, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the berries soften, mashing to your desired consistency.
Let the mixture simmer gently while skimming off any foam that rises.
Check for set point at about 220°F (105°C) using a thermometer; it should wrinkle slightly when dropped onto a chilled plate.
Stir in the crushed lavender buds once the jam has thickened.
Ladle into sterilized jars and seal. Process in boiling water for 10 minutes for long-term storage.
