Blueberry jam
Blueberry jam is a sweet spread made from blueberries, sugar, and pectin. It's a delicious way to preserve the natural flavor of blueberries and can be used as a topping for toast, pancakes, yogurt, or even as a filling for pastries.
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon pectin
Instructions
- Wash and prepare the blueberries by removing any stems.
- In a large saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice.
- Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the blueberries start to break down and release their juices.
- Once the mixture begins to boil, add the pectin and continue to cook for an additional 15-20 minutes, stirring frequently.
- To check if the jam is ready, place a small amount on a chilled plate. If it thickens up and wrinkles when pushed with your finger, it's done.
- Remove the jam from heat and let it cool slightly before transferring it to sterilized jars.
- Seal the jars tightly and allow them to cool completely before storing them in the refrigerator.
- Enjoy!
