Blueberry Jam

What’s better than homemade blueberry jam? Not much, I tell ya! This recipe is simple, and it’ll have your kitchen smelling amazing. Let’s get started!

Ingredients

4 cups fresh blueberries (or frozen, if that’s what you got)
1 cup water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (really brings out that blueberry flavor)
2 tablespoons chia seeds (for that thick jam consistency)
Optional: Sweetener of your choice, to taste (if you want a little extra sweetness)

Instructions

First things first, wash those blueberries! Toss ‘em in a colander and give ‘em a good rinse. If you’re using frozen blueberries, no worries—just let them thaw a bit.
In a saucepan, combine the blueberries, water, lemon juice, and vanilla extract. Bring it to a boil over medium heat and let it bubble away for about 10 minutes. You want those blueberries nice and soft.
Once the blueberries are good and mushy, take a fork or a potato masher and mash ‘em up to your desired consistency. If you like it chunky, go for it! If you’re more into that smooth texture, mash away!
Add in the chia seeds and stir well. They’re gonna help thicken that jam as it cools. If you like it sweet, now’s the time to mix in your sweetener of choice. Just stir until everything is nicely combined.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool for a bit. Once it’s cooled down, you can transfer the jam into sterilized jars. Seal those jars up tight!
Your jam can be stored in the fridge for up to two weeks, or you can can it to make it shelf-stable. It’s all yours, honey!

Now you got yourself some homemade no sugar added blueberry jam. Go ahead, slather it on some bread or mix it into yogurt. Enjoy your delicious creation!
