Blueberry Lavender Compote?

I was hoping to make the following recipe for people for Christmas, and, because I have to travel, it would be preferable if I could can it rather than packing it on ice for the 12+ hour trip. I tried to find a similar recipe from an approved source, but couldn't find anything in the same vein.

The recipe (included below) says that it can be processed in BWB for 15 minutes, and, from what I can tell, that should be fine: the only ingredients that aren't acidic are sugar and dried lavender, and, given other posts on this forum, sugar or dried herbs shouldn't affect Ph.

1 pound frozen blueberries
1 teaspoon dried lavender, chopped
2/3 cup natural cane sugar
Zest and juice from 1 lemon
2/3 cup red wine

Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and cook until mixture starts to boil. Let boil, stirring once or twice, for 2 minutes, and then reduce heat to medium. Continue cooking, gradually reducing heat and stirring more frequently, cook at medium heat and gradually turn to medium-low, stirring more frequently and mashing fruit slightly, until mixture reaches a syrupy consistency, about 30 minutes.
