Ingredients
  • 5 cups fresh blueberries
  • ½ to 1 cup sugar*
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Mash with a potato masher or wooden spoon until the berries have released their juices.
  2. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture has thickened, 18 to 25 minutes. Transfer to containers/glass jars and refrigerate for up to 1 month or freeze for up to 1 year.
  3. The recipe called for ½ cup of sugar, which is how I made it, however I like my jam to be a little sweeter. Next time I’d use more sugar, so feel free to add more to taste until it reaches your liking.
  4. This recipe can also be made with two 10-ounce bags of frozen blueberries instead of fresh. Cook the frozen berries for 2 to 3 minutes before mashing, then reduce the total cooking time to 15 to 17 minutes.
