Blueberries With Orange Liqueur And Lavender
Ingredients
1 C. orange flavored liqueur
1 C. water
1 C. sugar
1 1/2 pound fresh blueberries
20 each fresh lavender flower heads
Cooking Instructions
Prepare the jars, lids and boiling water bath. Combine liqueur, water and sugar in a pan and cook over medium high heat, stirring frequently, until sugar is dissolved and the mixture has come to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat. Meanwhile, pick over, wash and dry the blueberries. Then pack them in hot, dry jars, placing four lavender flower heads in each jar. Leave 1/2 headspace. Pour the hot liquid into the jars, just covering the berries. Wipe rims with a clean towel and attach lids securely. Place the jars in the boiling water bath and, when water returns to a full boil, process for 15 minutes. Remove the jars, cool, label and store.
