Blueberry jam is a sweet and fruity spread made from fresh or frozen blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice. The blueberries are cooked down with sugar and lemon juice until they break down into a thick, sticky consistency. This process releases natural pectin in the berries, which helps the jam to set.
Blueberry jam can be made with just blueberries, or it can be infused with additional flavors like vanilla, cinnamon, or nutmeg. Some recipes also call for adding other fruits like strawberries or raspberries to the mix.
Blueberry jam is a popular breakfast condiment that can be spread on toast, bagels, or English muffins. It can also be used as a topping for yogurt or oatmeal, or as a filling for pastries and cakes. Blueberry jam can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a month or canned for longer shelf life.
