Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups fresh raspberries hulled and rinsed
  • 1 cup sugar preferably organic
  • 2 teaspoons dried lavender buds culinary grade
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Mason jars or airtight containers

Method
 

  1. Combine the fresh raspberries, sugar, dried lavender, and lemon juice in a medium saucepan. Stir gently to mix all the ingredients evenly.
  2. Heat the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves completely and the raspberries start to release their juices, about 5 minutes.
  3. Increase the heat to medium and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Continue stirring gently, mashing some berries with the back of a spoon, until the jam thickens and coats the spoon, approximately 15 minutes.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat once the jam has reached your desired consistency and the aroma of lavender is fragrant. Discard the lavender buds if you prefer a smoother texture, or leave them in for a rustic look.
  5. Pour the hot jam into clean, sterilized jars, using a funnel for neatness. Seal the jars loosely, allowing them to cool slightly.
  6. Once cooled to room temperature, tighten the lids and store the jam in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, or process in a water bath for longer storage.
  7. Enjoy your homemade lavender raspberry jam spread on toast, dolloped onto yogurt, or spooned over desserts for a floral fruit flavor.

Notes

For a smoother jam, strain out the lavender buds before pouring into jars. Using organic raspberries and sugar enhances the natural flavor.
