Blueberry jam is a lot nicer if you make it yourself at home. I use only 44% sugar and juice of 2 limes to enhance the flavour. I filter the skins to make a jelly-like jam which
I enjoy most with freshly baked bread or American pancakes…
Ingredients :
- 500g of Blueberries
- 400g of Jam sugar (but plain sugar works as well)
- 2 Limes
How to make:
- Simply heat all the ingredients until they come to a strong boil.
- Monitor the temperature until it reaches 110 degrees Celsius. (this is the temperature required to get a Jam, do not go too much above this, or you will get candy sauce…)
- Crush the skins of the blueberries to extract as much of the taste as possible. I use a potato muncher.
- Filter the jam through a “fine chinois” and then transfer it into Jam jars.
- Let it cool and put it into the fridge until the next day.
- It will keep for months if you seal it properly. (sterilise the Jars)
