How to make very easy homemade blueberry jam:
- Making cranberry jam is very easy, and you can make it with cranberries or blueberries because the process is exactly the same.
- First, wash the fruit well and place it in a pot, crush it slightly and add the sugar.
- Heat the preparation over high heat until it starts to boil.
- First stir the red fruit jam for 5 minutes until the blueberries have a little juice
- Keep stirring over high heat and when it boils (7-10 minutes) lower the heat to medium. Then add the lemon and continue stirring until it thickens a bit.
- The cooking time varies depending on how thick we like the jam, so when it reaches the desired texture, remove it from the heat.
- It also depends a lot on the type of kitchen and its heat intensity. In my case I finished in approximately 25 minutes.
- Keep in mind that when it cools it thickens
- If you want, you can crush it to make it finer.
- Then use it to decorate a cheesecake, for example, or reserve it in previously sterilized glass jars.
- Tip: The total cooking time of the red fruit jam is around 20 or 30 minutes.
- This homemade blueberry jam can last for months unopened as long as you re-sterilize the jars once filled and closed.
- As soon as you open the bottle, we recommend consuming it within a maximum period of two weeks.
- To keep it longer, you can add a tablespoon of lemon juice during preparation.
