Homemade Blueberry Jam
Homemade blueberry jam captures summer’s burst in each spoonful. First, you wash and lightly puree the blueberries. Then, you combine them with water and sugar in a gentle simmer. Next, stir until the mixture thickens—about 20–25 minutes. Finally, mix in lemon juice and let it cool before jarring. The result is rich, fragrant, and full of sunshine.
Ingredients
● 500 g blueberries
● 400 g sugar
● 300 g water
● juice of 1/2 lemon
Directions
Wash the blueberries very well, put them in blender and puree lightly.
Next put the puree in the pot, and add the water and sugar.
Boil all together until the jam has thickened, about 20-25 minutes.
Two minutes before turning off the heat add the lemon juice, stir and remove from the heat.
To see if the jam has the desired consistency, put some on a saucer and allow to cool.
Once it has cooled tilt the plate slightly and if it is not runny, the jam is ready.
Allow it to rest for 10 minutes and then store in glass sterilized jars.
