Blueberries with Orange Liqueur and Lavender

5 half-pints

1 cup Orange-flavored liqueur
1 cup Water
1 cup Sugar
1 1/2 lb Fresh blueberries
20 ea 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.
