How to Make Strawberry Jam Essence De Provence

Combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract in a blender. Blend until a fine powder is formed.
In a heavy-bottomed pot, gently combine 4 cups hulled and sliced fresh strawberries with the blended sugar mixture.
Let the mixture sit for 4 hours, stirring a couple of times to help the sugar dissolve and form a syrup.
Add 2 tablespoons lemon juice and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional) to the pot.
Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
Stir in 1/4 cup liquid pectin and return to a rolling boil. Continue boiling for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat.
Ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
Wipe the jar rims clean, and secure with lids and screw bands.
Process the jars in a boiling water bath. Place the jars in a large pot, ensuring they are covered by at least 1 inch of water. Bring the water to a gentle boil, cover, and process for 10 minutes.
Turn off the heat and let the jars sit in the water bath for an additional 5 minutes.
Carefully remove the jars from the water bath, keeping them upright. Place them on a towel in a draft-free location to cool completely.
Allow the jars to sit undisturbed for 24 hours to ensure a proper seal.
After 24 hours, remove the bands, wipe the jars clean, and label them. Store in a cool, dark, and dry pantry for up to 1 year.
