How to Make Peach Lavender Jam
- Gently rinse 1 cup of fresh lavender flowers (organic preferred) and place them in a heatproof bowl.
- Pour 1 cup of boiling water over the lavender flowers. Steep for 20 minutes to extract the fragrant oils.
- Strain the lavender infusion through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing gently on the flowers to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the spent flowers.
- In a large, heavy-bottomed stainless steel or enamel saucepan, combine the lavender infusion (about ¾ cup), 4 cups peeled and sliced ripe peaches (about 1.5 lbs), ½ cup lemon juice (about 2-3 lemons), and 4 cups granulated sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference).
- Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Boil hard for 1 minute, skimming off any foam that rises to the surface.
- Reduce heat to medium-high and stir in 1 pouch (1.75 oz) liquid pectin. Boil for another minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- Remove from heat and carefully skim off any remaining foam.
- Ladle the hot jam into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving ¼-inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean, and place lids and rings on jars.
- Process in a boiling water bath for 5 minutes (adjust processing time according to your altitude – consult a canning guide for specifics).
- Remove jars from the canner and let them cool completely. You should hear a ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal. Check to ensure all jars have sealed properly.
