Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Begin by grinding fresh lavender buds in a mortar and pestle until finely ground; set aside.
  2. Sterilize three half-pint canning jars and their lids by boiling them for 10 minutes.
  3. Combine blueberries, honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest in a skillet over medium heat, cooking for 15–20 minutes.
  4. Skim off any foam that forms during cooking for a cleaner jam.
  5. Test for setting by placing a spoonful on a chilled plate—if it wrinkles, it's ready.
  6. Stir in the ground lavender once the jam reaches the setting point and remove from heat.
  7. Pour the jam into prepared jars, seal with lids, and process in a water bath canner if preserving.
