Blueberry Jam
The blueberries are delicious, very sweet, and full of antioxidants and vitamins beneficial for our body! I love eating them fresh and also in the form of jam or used in desserts like Blueberry Cheesecake, Blueberry Tiramisu, Flourless Ricotta and Blueberry Cake, etc! The jam is very simple to prepare and is made without any preservatives, using only blueberries, sugar, and lemon! I also chose to put a little less sugar than the standard because I don’t like things too sweet, and this jam will be gone within a few months 🤣, you can adjust the sugar from 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 cups per kg of fruit!

Steps
The preparation of blueberry jam is very simple, watch the video HERE.
-
First, we need to carefully wash the blueberries, drain them, and transfer them into a pan. Add the sugar, lemon zest, and juice. Mix and cook for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking to the pan.
Once the desired consistency is reached, immediately place it in previously sterilized jars. Seal them well and turn them upside down
Let cool upside down to create a vacuum seal.
If you want to store the jam for a longer period (more than a year), you need to reboil the jars for about 20 min.
