Today was a lazy Sunday yet I did manage to make a small batch of peach and lavender jam. I picked some of the lavender flowers that had dried on their stems in the garden before the rain started. I peeled, pitted and chopped some peaches that I picked up at the Farmer’s Market yesterday. I added some sugar and lemon juice and simmered for hours (since I am not a fan of using pectin). I steamed up the windows and filled the house with the scent of summer.
Recipe to follow in a day or two.

What a glorious way to spend a Sunday.
The best!
If you’re thinking this early comment indicates I am over eager to see this recipe…you’d be right 🙂
Hi Sue, I promise to post the recipe on Thursday or Friday.
Yum!
I added lavender to my apricot jam tis summer and it was lovely.
I’m picking up a case of peaches this Thursday because I feel like the season is passing me by and I haven’t had peach juice running down my wrist nearly enough!
Now I will have to try the apricot/lavender combo (next year). I know how you feel about the peach season, I am eating two or three every day and storing the sensory experience deep in my brain for the cold, dark, rainy days of winter!
Any chance you can bring some of that lavender to me????
Hi, any update on the recipe 🙂
Hi Sue! I posted the recipe on the 17th. It is currently the very latest post (as of Friday the 21st of September). Thanks for checking in.
