Chamomile Jam

An exquisite, unusual, downright otherworldly treat! Chamomile jam is as unexpected as it is delicious — lightly tart, sweet, and pleasant, with a perfect citrus note. Serve it with tea or spread it on toast. This amount makes 4 jars of about 1 cup (250 ml) each — or use 2 pint (500 ml) jars and increase the processing time to 25 minutes.

  • Start by prepping the flowers, pulling the blossoms off the stems. Then scrub the oranges and lemons well with the rough side of a dish sponge to wash any residue off the citrus peel. Peel a thin layer of zest from the oranges and lemons, taking care to avoid the white pith, which would add unwanted bitterness. Thinly slice the strips of zest and put them in a medium saucepan. Peel away the white pith from the oranges and lemons, then cut the flesh into small pieces. Add it all to the zest, along with any juice released as you cut. Dissolve a third of the pectin in the water (2 cups), add it to the pan with the citrus, set it over high heat, and bring to a boil. Stirring, cook the mixture for 10 minutes over medium heat. Mix the remaining pectin with the sugar and add it to the pan along with the rest of the ingredients. Add the prepared flowers as well. Stir everything together thoroughly. Cook over low heat for 10 minutes — the jam should thicken slightly — then take the pan off the heat. Ladle the jam into sterilized jars, filling them up to the shoulders. Set a large pot of water on the stove, line the bottom with a towel, and stand the jars of jam on it. Pour water into the pot up to the jars' shoulders and rest the lids loosely on top. Wait for the water to boil, then process the jars for 15 minutes. Seal them, turn them upside down, and wrap them in a blanket. Let the jam cool for a full day. The jam is ready!
