Blueberry jam

Here is the recipe for homemade blueberry jam, perfect for filling desserts, tarts, toast and biscuits.

Blueberry jam is one of the most loved preserves, appreciated for its sweet and slightly acidic flavor which contains all the scent of the forest. Perfect with biscuits for breakfast , to enrich desserts or accompany cheeses, this jam is a true concentrate of flavor and nutrients.

Blueberries, small fruits rich in antioxidants, vitamins and fibre, make this jam not only delicious, but also a precious ally for well-being . Easy to prepare, blueberry jam preserves the taste of summer all year round, bringing a touch of natural and genuine sweetness to the table.

How to prepare blueberry jam recipe

1. Start by washing the blueberries under cold water, drain them well then transfer them to a large, thick-bottomed pan with the sugar , grated zest and lemon juice. Cover and let rest for an hour.
2. Place the pan on the heat, bring to the boil and cook for about 40 minutes . If you like, you can blend everything with an immersion blender. To check if the blueberry jam is cooked, do the classic saucer test : place a teaspoon of jam on a saucer. If the jam doesn't slide off quickly when you tilt the plate, the jam is ready.
3. Transfer the jam into sterilized glass jars , close with a new lid and turn upside down. Let it cool completely until the vacuum has formed before placing it in the pantry.

Blueberry jam can also be prepared with the Thermomix . In any case, if you want to try an interesting combination, we recommend the kaiserschmarren , a sweet omelette typical of Trentino.

Conservation

We recommend storing the jars hermetically sealed in a cool, dry place for several months . Once opened, however, you must store the jars in the fridge and consume them within 1 week .
