Blueberry Preserves
You can make sweet blueberry preserves in just 15 minutes for spreading over buttery toast or pancakes. This is the easiest way to capture fresh blueberry flavor for enjoying all year round--no canning required.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoon pectin
- 4 cups fresh blueberries
- 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Instructions
- Add the sugar and pectin to a large mixing bowl and stir with a spoon.
- Add the blueberries to a medium saucepan and pour in the prepared sugar mix. Add the fresh lemon juice and stir it all together.
- Cook the blueberries over medium-high heat and bring them to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes. Stir it to ensure the fruit is evenly combined and nothing burns on the bottom.
- Once the preserves coat the back of a wooden spoon, remove from the heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
- Store in an airtight container for up to 30 days in the fridge or freeze for up to one year.
