Blueberry Jam

Course: Dessert, Side Dish, Snack

Ingredients

  • 3 cups blueberries frozen and thawed or fresh
  • 3/4 cup honey you can use more or less depending on how tart your berries are
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

  • Place the blueberries in a medium sized sauce pan and crush them with the back of a fork or using a potato masher.
  • Add the honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest, then bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Stir frequently while the mixture boils for 15-20 minutes and it starts to thicken. The best way to test if it’s done is to put a spoonful in the freezer for 5 minutes. If it won’t easily pour off of the spoon when you remove it from the freezer, then it’s done.
  • Skim off any foam, then ladle the jam into a sterilized jar.
  • Store tightly covered in the fridge for a couple of weeks or you can use canning methods to store in a pantry for longer storage.
