Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams fresh blueberries
- 300 grams granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons Sambuca liqueur
- 1 tablespoon powdered pectin
Instructions
Wash the blueberries thoroughly and remove any stems or debris.
In a large saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
Mash the blueberries slightly with a potato masher or the back of a spoon to release their juices.
Place the saucepan over medium heat and stir constantly until the sugar dissolves completely.
Add the powdered pectin and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently.
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the Sambuca liqueur.
Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.
Seal the jars with lids and process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure proper preservation.
Let the jars cool completely on a counter. Once cool, check that the lids have sealed properly.
Store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months or refrigerate after opening.
