Homemade Blueberry Jam
Start your day with a spoonful of Homemade Blueberry Jam. It’s sweet, fruity, and perfect on toast, crumpets, or a warm croissant straight from the oven.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 600 g – 4 cups blueberries
- 350 g – 1¾ cups granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
Instructions
-
Mix the blueberries, lemon juice, and sugar in a pot.
-
Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20 to 30 minutes or until thick.
-
While the jam is cooking, put a small plate in the freezer.
-
After 20 minutes, when the jam looks like it’s beginning to gel, turn off the heat.
-
Put a small amount of jam on the frozen plate and return it to the freezer for a few minutes. If it wrinkles when you nudge it, it’s ready. If not, cook it a little longer and test it again until it’s ready.
-
Store the jam in sterilised jars.
Recipe Notes
For a smoother finish, you can blend the jam with a hand blender before pouring it into sterilised jars.
