Step By Step Instructions
Add the blueberries to a medium saucepan with the sugar, I like to use super-fine sugar as it dissolves much faster than granulated, but granulated will work just fine. Add the butter and lemon juice to the pan. Mix to coat well and turn the heat up to high. The goal is to bring your mixture to a boil as fast as possible. Using a shallow, wide-shaped pan will help the water cook out of the fruit quicker. Continue to boil until the jam has thickened. Stir and mash the blueberries frequently, and you’ll have delicious, spreadable jam in just about 15 minutes. Test with a thermometer and make sure it gets to 220°F/104°C. Transfer the jam to a clean jar and cool to room temperature. Seal the jar with the lid and keep it in the refrigerator for ten days.
