  • 1 cup Honey Or substitute with sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Zest
  • 1/4 cup Lemon Juice Freshly squeezed

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Lightly crush the culinary-grade lavender buds with a mortar and pestle to release aromatic oils.
  2. In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries, honey, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Cook on medium heat, stirring gently until blueberries soften, about 5–7 minutes.
  3. Allow the mixture to simmer on low heat for 15–20 minutes, skimming off any foam until it thickens and reaches 220°F (105°C).
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the crushed lavender buds. Let sit for about 5 minutes to meld flavors.
  5. Pour the jam into sterilized jars, leaving headspace. Seal and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes for long-term storage.
