Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Fresh raspberries
- 2 cups Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Dried culinary lavender
- 2 tablespoons Water
Instructions
Gently rinse the raspberries under cold water and let them drain in a colander.
In a small saucepan, combine the dried culinary lavender and water. Heat over low heat for 3-4 minutes to infuse the flavor, then strain the liquid through a fine mesh sieve and set aside. Discard the lavender solids.
In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, combine the raspberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and the lavender-infused liquid.
Mash the raspberries lightly with a potato masher or the back of a wooden spoon to release their juices.
Cook the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until it begins to boil.
Reduce the heat to medium and continue cooking, stirring often, for 20-25 minutes, or until the mixture reaches the desired jam consistency. To test, spoon a small amount onto a chilled plate—if it thickens and forms a gel-like texture, it’s ready.
Remove the pot from heat and skim off any foam from the surface using a spoon.
Let the jam cool for 5-10 minutes before ladling it into sterilized glass jars. Leave about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top of each jar.
Seal the jars and let them cool completely at room temperature. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or process in a water bath canner for longer storage.
