This recipe relies on a 3:1 jam sugar ratio, yielding a less sweet and more fruit-forward jam.
The slightly tart, intensely-scented lavender flowers contain essential oils that have a gentle calming effect on both nerves and a stressed stomach.

Kitchen utensils
Preparation steps
Rinse a large jar or mixed-size jars (approximately 30 ounces total capacity) together with matching lids in boiling water and leave upside down to drain on a kitchen towel. Gently rinse blackberries in a strainer and drain.
Rinse apples, peel, quarter and core.
Cut apple quarters in half lengthwise and cut crosswise into slices.
Cut large blackberries in half if necessary. Weigh 26 ounces of blackberries and apples and mix with jam sugar in a large pot.
Bring mixture to a boil over high heat while stirring and cook for an additional 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
Fold in lavender flowers, return to a boil and immediately pour into prepared jars. Close lids, invert jars, and let stand for 5 minutes upside down. Turn jars over again and allow to cool. (The spread will keep, well-sealed, and refrigerated for about 6 months.)
Tip: To preserve the spread for longer, you will need to process the jars according to the manufacturer's instructions.
