Raspberry Lavender Jam image

I first made this in New Zealand - we lived near a berry farm (where you picked your own) that also sold dried herbs and country crafts, so was able to get all of the ingredients in one go. It's basically the Edmonds recipe for raspberry jam with lavender added. We also went to Hampton Court Palace here when they had the kitchens fired up - apparently Queen Elizabeth I loved lavender and insisted on having lavender conserve available all year round.

Categories     Raspberries

Time 35m

Yield 750 g - approx

Number Of Ingredients 3

3 cups fresh raspberries (you can use frozen if fresh are not in season)
2 1/2 cups caster sugar
1/4 cup dried lavender, heads (stalks removed, Make sure that the lavender you buy is edible)

Steps:

  • The night before you make this jam put the raspberries into a non-reactive bowl and shred the lavender over the top. Stir to combine and leave covered in the fridge.
  • The next day, put the berries and lavender into a pan and cook on a low heat.
  • When the juice starts to run from the berries, bring the pan to the boil.
  • Once boiling, add the sugar and stir briskly until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Once the sugar has dissolved, boil the mixture for about 5 minutes, then pour into sterilised jars.
  • Store in a cool dark place - due to the lavender it needs to sit so wait for about 1-2 weeks before consuming.

I love the flavor of this jam, but it's a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll add a little water next time.

This is the worst jam I've ever tasted. It's way too sweet and the lavender flavor is overpowering.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my jam turned out really runny. I think I might have overcooked it.

I didn't have any dried lavender on hand, so I used a teaspoon of lavender extract instead. The jam still turned out great!

This recipe was a bit more work than I expected, but it was worth it. The jam turned out beautifully and it tastes amazing.

This jam is a bit too sweet for my taste, but the flavor is still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of lavender. But I'm so glad I did! The lavender flavor is very subtle and it really complements the raspberries. This jam is delicious!

I love the unique flavor of this jam. The lavender adds a subtle floral note that really complements the raspberries. It's perfect on toast, biscuits, or even ice cream.

This raspberry lavender jam is a taste bud sensation! The perfect balance of sweet and floral flavors. It's like biting into a summer day.
