Print Recipe

A simple and rewarding small-batch jam recipe combining fresh black raspberries with a subtle floral note of culinary lavender. Perfect for quick homemade jam with a sophisticated flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (about 300g) fresh black raspberries
  • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon dried culinary lavender buds
  • 2 tablespoons (about 30ml) freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) water

Instructions

  1. Rinse the black raspberries gently under cold water and drain well. Remove any stems or damaged berries. Place them in your saucepan.
  2. Pour in 1/4 cup (60ml) water and sprinkle the 1 teaspoon of culinary lavender buds over the berries. Stir lightly to combine.
  3. Heat the pan over medium heat until it starts to bubble gently. Reduce to low and let simmer, stirring occasionally, for 15 minutes.
  4. Using a potato masher or the back of your spoon, gently crush the berries to release more pulp, being careful to keep some texture.
  5. Stir in 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar and 2 tablespoons (30ml) fresh lemon juice. Increase heat slightly and bring the mixture to a steady boil, stirring constantly to dissolve the sugar.
  6. Let the jam boil gently but steadily for 10-12 minutes, stirring frequently. Test the set by placing a small spoonful on a chilled plate and tilting it; if it wrinkles when pushed, it’s ready.
  7. Once thickened, quickly strain the jam through a fine mesh sieve if you want to remove lavender bits, or leave them in for rustic charm.
  8. Pour the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving a little headspace. Let it cool to room temperature, then seal and refrigerate.

Notes

Use fresh or properly thawed berries to avoid watery jam. Control lavender amount to prevent bitterness. Test jam set early and often using the chilled plate method. Stir constantly during boiling to prevent burning. Store jam in sterilized jars and refrigerate for up to three weeks or freeze for up to three months.
