RELAXING PEACH LAVENDER JAM
The aroma that went through my house while making this was un-describable. I've been "jammin" this week and I have a half bushel of peaches I don't want to lose.

Steps:
- 1. Start by sterilizing jars and lids. This takes a little while, so I start this 1st. I place my clean jars in my canner and cover with hot water. Bring this to a boil and boil for at least 10 minutes. Remove jars when ready to use. Pour some of the boiling water from jars back into canner and keep the water boiling so you will be ready to process jars of jam. In another small pot; sterilize lids in gently boiling water.
- 2. Next boil about 3/4 cup water. I put water in a pyrex measuring cup and put it in the microwave for about 2 minutes. Pour off all but 1/2 cup of the water and add the Lavender. Let this steep for 20 minutes.
- 3. Prepare fruit; chop fine. I use my food processer and it works great for chopping peaches. Just don't liquify the fruit. A little juice won't hurt.
- 4. After 20 minutes, strain the liquid from the Lavender flowers into the pot that you will use to make your jam in. Add the peaches, lemon juice sugar and butter. (Butter helps reduce foaming) Over a medium high heat bring fruit mixture to a rolling boil. A rolling boil is a boil that you can not stir down with a spoon. Continue to boil fruit mixture 2 minute once it reaches a rolling boil, stirring continuously.
- 5. Turn heat off; stir in pectin. Remove jars from canner onto a dry towel. Ladle fruit mixture into hot jars; cap with sterilized lid and tighten bands. Return to boiling water in canner and gently boil for 10 minutes. Remove and cool. After completely cooled, check seals and bands.
PEACH LAVENDER JAM
I have large lavender plants in my backyard and I wanted to post this for when the peaches come into season. Please use organic lavender (usually found in Farmer's Markets) to make this. You can also use other fruits like strawberries, raspberries, orange and lemon. For an added touch, place a small sprig on top of jam before sealing. From Topp and Howard's "Small Bath Preserving".

Tips for Making Peach Lavender Jam:
- Choose ripe, fragrant peaches for the best flavor.
- Use fresh lavender flowers for the most intense flavor. If using dried lavender, use half the amount.
- To intensify the lavender flavor, steep the lavender flowers in hot water before adding them to the jam.
- Cook the jam over low heat to prevent scorching and to allow the flavors to develop fully.
- Use a candy thermometer to measure the temperature of the jam. The jam is ready when it reaches 220°F (104°C).
- Let the jam cool slightly before transferring it to jars. This will help to prevent the jars from cracking.
- Process the jars in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to seal them.
- Store the jam in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year.
