Short and sweet. This was a small batch I used to experiment with the ratio of sugar to Berries. I think I can still make it with less sugar. I’ll let you know what happens with a less sugary recipe later in the month.
If you have excess blueberries, save summer by making Blueberry Jam.
- 4 C Blueberries, mashed
- 2 C sugar, white
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
In a dutch oven over medium heat, cook mashed berries until they boil add sugar, boil while stirring until sugar dissolves, then turn heat down to low and simmer mixture for up to 60 minutes, stirring every few minutes until it reaches your desired jam thickness. Once you hit the thickness you desire, for me this was 40 minutes, add the juice of 1 lemon and its zest, turn up to medium, bring back to a boil and then shut off heat.
Remove from heat, pour into canning jars and either freeze or if you have done the boiling canning method, seal and keep at room temp.
