My word, I am proud of myself. I had 2 pears that were just about to die a slow death in the refrige, and some lavender in the garden, so I am thinking of ways to use them. Here was my solution:
Begin with Lavender sugar:
Cup (or really, any measurement) of suger
6 or 7 lavender flowers - depending on how strong you like your flowers. Remove as much of he stem as possible.
Process these together in a magic bullet, blender, or food processor. The smell is HEAVENLY!
Mix sugar in equal parts with pears on the stove top. I used an immersion blender to help break down the pears more quickly, but I guess you could simmer until the pears are mushy pulp.
Then I used this recipe:

... but I had no wallnuts so I substituted Almond flour.
And I had some other jams that needed to be used up.
and VOILA! Here is my creation!
