Blueberry Preserves

via Tupelo Honey Cafe

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sugar
  • 4 cups fresh blueberries (about 1.5 pounds)
  • 1 tbsp freshly-squeezed lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp cold water
  • 3 tbsp cornstarch

Instructions

  1. Combine the blueberries and sugar in a medium saucepan and stir with a spoon to incorporate. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, and simmer for about 5 minutes.

  2. Whisk together water, lemon juice and cornstarch in a small bowl to create a slurry. Turn the heat back up on blueberry mixture until it comes to a boil, add the slurry mixture and stir until jam has thickened about 2 – 3 minutes. The jam should coat the back of a spoon.

  3. Allow to cool to room temperature before serving. Store in an airtight container for up to 10 days.
