Ingredients
  

Fruits
  • 2 cups fresh strawberries hulled and chopped
Flavorings
  • 1 tablespoon dried culinary lavender lightly crushed
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice freshly squeezed
Sweeteners
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup brown sugar
Pectin
  • 1 package pectin for jam making

Method
 

Prepare the Ingredients
  1. Wash and hull the strawberries, then chop them into small pieces.
  2. Lightly crush the dried lavender to release its fragrance.
Cook the Jam
  1. In a large pot, combine the chopped strawberries, dried lavender, lemon juice, and both sugars. Stir well.
  2. Let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the strawberries to release their juices.
  3. Add the pectin to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  4. Once boiling, continue to cook for about 10-15 minutes until the mixture thickens.
  5. Check the consistency by placing a spoonful on a plate and letting it cool for a minute; it should hold its shape.
Jar the Jam
  1. Remove the pot from heat and skim off any foam from the surface.
  2. Using a ladle and canning funnel, pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace.
  3. Seal the jars with lids and process in a boiling water bath for 5-10 minutes to ensure preservation.
Cool and Store
  1. Remove the jars from the water bath and let them cool completely on a clean towel.
  2. Once cooled, check that the lids have sealed properly. Store in a cool, dark place.
