Homemade Blueberry Jam
This homemade blueberry jam with a hint of warm spice is a refreshingly delicious and healthier choice than a store-bought jar. Using just 2 ingredients – I cannot believe that I don’t have a any jam recipe on my blog because I make all kinds of jam! This blueberry jam is so simple and like most homemade goodies once you start making your own, over time, it becomes more difficult to enjoy the store bought products.
Blueberry Jam
Can you believe how affordable blueberries are when they’re in season in comparison to when they are not in season? It’s crazy to pay such an exorbitant price tag when you know the seasonal costs and perks of buying seasonal. I’ve spoken in lengths about buying in season and why you should do the same in most of my recipes.
The most beautiful thing about making your own jam is that you can pretty much make jam of just about any fruit. The ones I love making are apple, figs (oh sweet figs!), all the berries – strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and marmalade.
