Ingredients
- 2 cups blueberries , fresh or frozen
- ½ lemon , juiced
- peel of half a lemon
- ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup water
- 1 pinch kosher salt
Instructions
- Cut 1 lemon in half and use a knife to carefully peel the lemon. Once peeled, juice ½ the lemon into a medium saucepan.
- Place the 2 cups of blueberries, lemon peel, lemon juice, ¼ cup granulated sugar, ¼ cup water and 1 pinch of kosher salt in the saucepan and set it over medium low heat.
- Let it cook for 15 min, periodically smashing the blueberries with the back of a spoon and stirring frequently.
- After 15 min, set the heat to low and cook for another 10 min stirring frequently.
- Take the pan off the heat, stir and let cool. Carefully remove the lemon peel.
- Once cool, place jam in a heat resistant jar or airtight container and store in the fridge. The jam will thicken more as it cools.
Notes
Notes: If the blueberry jam thickens too much in the fridge, spoon out the desired amount into a small microwave safe bowl and heat in 5 second increments until the desired consistency. Be careful not to burn yourself.
Storing: Once cooled, store jam in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
I do not recommend freezing the jam.
