Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Instructions
Rinse the fresh blueberries under cold running water and remove any stems or debris. Pat them dry gently with a clean towel.
In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the blueberries, honey, lemon juice, and lemon zest.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle boil, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Once the mixture starts to boil, reduce the heat to medium-low and use a potato masher or the back of a spoon to crush some of the blueberries. This will release their juices and help create a jam-like consistency.
Continue to simmer the mixture for 20–25 minutes, stirring frequently, until it thickens and reaches your desired consistency. The jam should coat the back of a spoon when ready.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the jam to cool for 10–15 minutes.
Transfer the warm jam into sterilized glass jars and let it cool completely before sealing. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or process in a water bath canner for longer storage.
Serve the Blueberry Honey Jam on toast, pancakes, or as a topping for desserts. Enjoy!
