Easy Blueberry Lemon Jam

Print Recipe

This jam is full of naturally sweet flavor from ripe summer blueberries and just a touch of lemon zest. Perfect on toast, in yogurt, oatmeal and even ice cream!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 cups blueberries washed and any stems picked off
  • zest and juice from one small lemon
  • 2 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Combine all ingredients in a quart size saucepan.
  2. On medium high heat, begin to mash (I used a potato masher) until most but not all of the blueberries are broken up.
  3. Bring to a boil.
  4. Lower heat and simmer for about 50-55 minutes, stirring every so often to prevent burning.
  5. Test with cold spoon (see above)*
  6. Let cool and transfer to a jar with lid.
  7. Refrigerate.

Notes

I have gotten a few questions regarding using frozen blueberries for this recipe. Although I have not tested this myself, I have had a few readers message me that frozen blueberries did in fact work for this recipe.
