Happy Birthday

 Happy Birthday Dad!

In your honor, I made

Peach Lavender Jam

I think you would have enjoy this

on toast, or over a scoop of

vanilla ice cream

Peach Lavender Jam

1 T. dried lavender flower

1/2 cup boiling water
4 cups finely chopped peaches

(about 5-6 medium peaches, peeled)

2 T. lemon juice
5 cups granulated sugar

1 pouch liquid fruit pectin

(I used 1/2 cups shredded apple

for natural pectin)

Directions:

Place lavender flowers in a small bowl.
Pour boiling water over flower and steep
for 20 min. Strain and discard flowers.

Combine lavender liquid, peaches,
lemon juice, apple, and sugar in a large pan.

Bring to a full boil over high heat
and boil hard for 2-3 min., stirring

constantly. Skim off any foam that

forms on top of the mixture.

Remove from heat.
Ladle hot jam into jars, leaving 1/4-inch
of space. Wipe jar rims and threads.

Screw on lids and rings.

Process in a boiling water bath for 10 min.

Remove from water and let cool completely

12-24 hours. Check seals. Any unsealed

jars should be refrigerated and used
within 3 weeks.

Love You

and

Miss you...
