The flavor of the lavender was a bit too strong for my taste, but otherwise this jam was very good. I would recommend using a lighter hand with the lavender next time.

This jam is a great way to use up summer strawberries. It's also perfect for gifts or to enjoy on a special occasion.

This recipe was absolutely delicious! The flavors of the strawberries and lavender were perfectly balanced, and the jam had a lovely, thick consistency.
