Blackberry Lavender No-Cook Freezer Jam

Ingredients

• 6 cups blackberries
• Juice of 1 lemon
• (about 3–4 tablespoons)
• 2 teaspoons minced dried
• lavender flowers
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 5 tablespoons real-fruit instant
• pectin
   

Directions
1. In a large bowl, combine blackberries, lemon juice, lavender, and salt, and stir to
mix. Mash with a potato masher just until the blackberries start to release juice but
are still in chunks.

2. In a separate bowl, stir sugar and instant pectin until well blended. Add to blackberry mixture and stir for 3 minutes until sugar dissolves.

3. Pour into clean jars or freezer containers, leaving 3/4 inch of space at top to allow jam to expand in freezer. Cover and let sit at room temperature for 24 hours until set. Store refrigerated for up to 3 weeks or in freezer up to 1 year. Thaw in refrigerator when ready to use.

4. Variations: Try different combinations, like Peach Vanilla or Plum Pepper.

Makes about 5 (8-ounce) jars
