Description

Blueberries require careful handling — they need to be gently mashed without straying from the recipe. The jam will turn out sweet, making it perfect to serve with buttery croissants and plain cheese pancakes.

Ingredients

Fresh Berries - 4 cups
Sugar - 3½ cups

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C). Place an empty plate in the freezer.

Step 2

In a saucepan, mash 1 cup of blueberries, add the remaining berries and 120 ml (½ cup) of water. Bring to a boil over medium heat. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon, until the berries are soft, about 6 minutes.

Step 3

Meanwhile, spread the sugar on a baking sheet and place it in the oven to warm for 5 minutes.

Step 4

Slowly add the sugar to the blueberries and bring to a boil again. Reduce the heat and cook, stirring, until thickened, about 45 minutes to 1 hour. To check the readiness of the jam, drop a little onto the plate from the freezer — the drop should not run and should remain firm.
