Blueberry Jam
Blueberry jam is a fragrant preserve with a deep violet-blue color and a balanced sweet-tart flavor. Made from fresh or wild blueberries with sugar and lemon juice, it sets naturally thanks to the pectin found in the berry skins. Delicious on buttered bread, in crepes, cakes, or as a topping for desserts and yogurt.

💡Variations
Combine blueberries with raspberries or blackberries (50/50) for a mixed wild berry jam with complex flavor.
Add 1 tsp of freshly grated ginger for a subtle spiced note that complements the sweetness of blueberries.
Use brown sugar instead of white sugar for a more caramelized flavor and added depth.
