For the Jam

4 cups blueberries Use fresh or frozen blueberries for a burst of flavor.
1 cup honey Offers a natural sweetness that pairs beautifully with both blueberries and lavender.
1 tablespoon lemon zest Adds a bright, zesty flavor that balances the sweetness.
2 tablespoons lemon juice Helps to enhance the jam’s tanginess and acts as a natural preservative.
1 tablespoon dried lavender buds Infuses the jam with a floral aroma that elevates the entire dish.

Instructions

Begin by lightly crushing 1 tablespoon of dried lavender buds with a mortar and pestle until they release their lovely aroma.
In a wide saucepan or skillet, combine 4 cups of blueberries, 1 cup of honey, 1 tablespoon of lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice. Place the pan over medium heat and stir the mixture occasionally, allowing the berries to soften.
Reduce the heat slightly and let the mixture simmer gently for about 10-15 minutes, skimming off foam if desired.
Use a candy thermometer to gauge the temperature; it should reach about 220°F (105°C).
Once your jam has thickened, remove it from the heat and stir in the crushed lavender buds.
Ladle the hot jam into sterilized half-pint jars and process if needed for longer storage.
