Strawberry Lavender Jam

This is another of our preserves where we seek to help the farmers prevent waste by having them collect "seconds" - bruised, under/over sized product not fit for farmers market sale. What we end up with is a collection of fruit so sweet from so much of the overripe product that our sugar to fruit ratio is sometimes as low as 1:6 vs. the traditional 1:1. For this version of our strawberry jam we add local dried lavender flowers for a light floral note. Ingredients: Strawberries, organic cane sugar, lemon juice, culinary lavender, pectin.
