Ingredients:
- 4 cups (600g) fresh blueberries
- 1.5 cups (300g) granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp (30ml) fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp (1.5g) salt
Instructions:
- Rinse the blueberries thoroughly and remove any stems.
- Place the berries, sugar, lemon juice, and salt into a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven.
- Stir over medium heat until the sugar has completely dissolved into the berries.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
- Stir constantly to ensure the sugar doesn't burn on the bottom.
- Continue boiling for 15–20 minutes until the mixture thickens and the bubbles become larger and heavier.
- Perform the Plate Test: Drop a small spoonful of jam onto a plate that has been chilled in the freezer. Wait 30 seconds, then push the edge with your finger. If the surface wrinkles, it has reached the setting point.
- Remove from heat immediately and transfer into sterile glass canning jars.
