Ingredients
  

  • 250 g blueberry
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

Instructions
 

  • I’ve taken 250 grams of blueberries to make a small batch of jam. Wash the blueberries and pat well dry on a kitchen towel.
  • Then blend blueberries into a puree consistency as shown.
  • In a non-stick pan, add the blueberry puree on medium heat. Add sugar and stir continuously with a wooden spoon until the sugar completely dissolves.
  • Stir well until the blueberry jam thickens on medium heat.
  • Stir continuously for 15 to 20 minutes to avoid jam burning to the bottom of the pan. Add freshly squeezed lemon juice to the mixture. It acts as a natural preservative for blueberry jam.

HOW TO CHECK THE CONSISTENCY OF BLUEBERRY JAM?

  • The jam has thickened and is ready to check the consistency. To check, add a drop or two of jam mixture to a plate of water. If the jam mixture stays without dissolving, that is a perfect consistency. Remove from the stovetop and let it cool completely.
  • Take a sterilized Jar, fill black grape jam up to the rim of the Glass Jar and turn it upside down and leave it for a few hours before storing it in a cool and dry place. Turning the filled Jam bottle upside down creates a vacuum and helps to preserve to increase shelf life. The blueberry jam will be good for months if it is unopened. Once opened, store it in the fridge. Use a clean, dry spoon for use. I made a small batch which was sufficient for eight-person.

Notes

Wash and pat dry blueberries well.
You can blend or mash black grapes with a potato masher.
Do not reduce the quantity of sugar and lemon juice.
Always use a dry spoon to consume jam.
