Blueberries with Orange Liqueur and Lavender

1 c Orange-flavored liqueur
1 c Water
1 c Sugar
1 1/2 lb Fresh blueberries
20 Fresh lavender flower heads

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.
