  • About

Dark, vibrant, and full of flavor. This jam is great on classic peanut butter and jam sammies or used on a charcuterie platter with soft cheese and crackers.

Ingredients

  • 2 lbs. fresh blueberries (about 6 cups)
  • 3 cups organic or non-GMO granulated sugar
  • 2

Method

Wash berries and remove any stems and soft or damaged berries. Add blueberries to a large heavy-bottomed, nonreactive pot and use a potato masher to break them down somewhat. Add in the sugar and lemon juice, and stir together. Bring ingredients to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-high and simmer for 20 minutes until the jam begins to thicken, stirring frequently.
