Description

This homemade blueberry jam with a hint of warm spice is a refreshingly delicious and healthier choice than a store-bought jar.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 to 3 cups blueberries (remove any stalks and very soft ones)
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
  • pinch (cinnamon)
  • pinch (cardamom spice)
  • 1/4 cup berry juice

Instructions

  1. Add all the ingredients into a saucepan, non stick.
  2. Heat to medium and bring to a slow boil. Drop the heat low to medium and keep stirring at intervals. Simmer until you have the desired consistency. If you want it thinner add a little more water or juice. If you want it thicker add a Maizena mix - see Notes below for Maizena mix.
  3. Store in a clean glass jar.

Notes

Maizena Mix (for thickening)

1 teaspoon Maizena 
2 tablespoons water

Mix into a thin paste/liquid and pour into the berry sauce while stirring for desired consistency. Remember it thickens a little more after simmering.
