Ingredients- 200g frozen blueberries
- 100g organic sugar (adjust to your sweetness preference)
- 1 tsp lemon juice (helps with natural pectin setting and adds brightness)
- 1 tsp Vitamin C powder (or PhytoCherry Mix) (for antioxidant benefits and preservation)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
In a pot, combine the frozen blueberries, organic sugar, and lemon juice. Place on a stovetop over medium-high heat (Queen Induction level 7). Start with higher heat to help the ingredients melt and come to a boil, then you’ll adjust the heat.
Step 2
Once the mixture begins to boil, use a spatula or spoon to gently mash the blueberries. Mashing them slightly, leaving some texture, will give the jam a pleasant bite. Be careful to prevent boiling over.
Step 3
As the blueberries break down and the jam starts to thicken, stir in the Vitamin C powder (or PhytoCherry Mix) until well combined. Then, reduce the heat to low (Queen Induction level 4) and let it simmer gently. Simmering on low heat prevents burning and allows the flavors to deepen.
Step 4
Continue stirring and simmering until the jam reaches a thick, glossy consistency, similar to the photo. The jam is ready when it pulls away from the bottom of the pot or drips slowly from the spoon. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 5
Once cooled, transfer the homemade blueberry jam to sterilized glass jars or airtight containers for storage. Keep refrigerated and consume relatively quickly for the best fresh flavor. Enjoy it on toast, yogurt, ice cream, pancakes, and more! ♥️
