Steps:
- If you are going to preserve jam, prepare jars and lids: place 8 half-pint jars on rack in large pot. Add enough water to cover jars, and bring to boil over high heat. Boil for 10 minutes, then turn off heat and allow jars to rest in the hot water. Meanwhile, put bands and lids in small saucepan and cover with water. Heat over medium heat until the water is simmering, then remove pan from heat and allow bands and lids to rest in hot water until ready to use.
- Put the lavender buds in a small bowl and pour 1/2 cup of boiling water over them. Let them steep for 10 minutes, then strain the "tea" into a bowl and discard the buds.
- Working in batches if necessary, pulse blueberries in blender until coarsely crushed. You should have about 6 cups.
- Measure 4 1/4 cups of sugar in one bowl. In another bowl, combine remaining 1/4 cup sugar and pectin.
- Combine blueberries, lemon zest and juice, and lavender tea in large, heavy saucepan or stockpot. Stir in sugar-pectin mixture and the butter. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
- Add remaining sugar all at once. Return to a full rolling boil. Boil for one minute. Remove jam from heat and skim off any foam from surface.
- Ladle hot jam into hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace. Wipe rims of the jars, cover with lids, and screw bands on until just barely tight. Place jars on rack in pot and cover completely with water. Cover pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Boil for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, uncover pot, and allow jars to rest in water for five minutes. Remove jars from pot and allow them to rest undisturbed on countertop for six hours or overnight.

Steps:
- 1. Put the lavender buds in a cup and pour 1/2 cup of boiling water over them, allow them to steep for one hour, strain the buds out and discard. Reserve the lavender "tea". ":NOTE:" you can do this in a shorter amount of time, as little as 10min but I think you need the extra time to get the full aroma from the buds.
- 2. Mash blueberries with either a potato masher or in a food processor, should produce around 6 cups of berry mash and juice.
- 3. Combine blueberry mash, lavender tea, zest and juice from lemon in a large non reactive pot and bring to a boil over medium heat, stir constantly to prevent burning, add sugar and pectin, return to a boil.
- 4. Once mixture has come to a full rolling boil, boil for one minute. Remove from heat and skim off any foam. Put foam in saucer or bowl, reserve.
- 5. Pour jam into prepared jars within 1/4 inch of top, put on lids.
- 6. Process in water bath covered in water for 10min, turn off heat, allow to set 5min. Remove from water and set on dish towel on counter, cover with additional dish towel till you hear lids "pop". Store in cool dark place after 24 hours.
- 7. Reserved jam "foam" may be eaten for breakfast the next morning or as a treat when your finished. Enjoy!!

Tips:
- To make the best blueberry lavender jam, use fresh, ripe blueberries. Frozen blueberries can also be used, but they should be thawed and drained before using.
- Use culinary lavender buds for the best flavor. If you don't have culinary lavender, you can use regular lavender buds, but be sure to remove the stems before using.
- Use a heavy-bottomed pot to make the jam. This will help to prevent the jam from scorching.
- Bring the jam to a rapid boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer until the jam has thickened. This will help to preserve the flavor of the blueberries and lavender.
- To test if the jam is done, place a small amount on a cold plate. If the jam wrinkles when you push your finger through it, it is done. If the jam is still too thin, continue to simmer it for a few minutes longer.
- Once the jam is done, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then, transfer it to clean jars and seal them tightly. The jam can be stored in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
Conclusion:
Blueberry lavender jam is a delicious and versatile spread that can be used on toast, crackers, or scones. It can also be used as a topping for yogurt, ice cream, or pancakes. The jam is also a great way to preserve blueberries and lavender. With its beautiful color and unique flavor, blueberry lavender jam is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
