Step-by-Step Instructions
- Grind fresh lavender buds using a mortar and pestle until they become a fine powder. Set aside.
- Sterilize three half-pint jars by submerging them in boiling water for 10 minutes.
- In a large skillet, combine fresh blueberries, honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest. Stir gently and bring to a simmer.
- Continue to cook over medium heat and mash the berries to desired consistency for 10-15 minutes.
- Skim off foam that forms on the surface for a smoother jam texture.
- Check for set using the freezer test: place a teaspoon of jam on a plate and push with your finger. If it wrinkles, it's ready.
- Stir in the ground lavender and let it cool slightly before jarring.
- Pour the mixture into sterilized jars and process in boiling water bath for 10 minutes if canning.

Notes
Use fresh ingredients for best flavor. Skim foam for a smoother texture and label jars with date if canning.
