Blueberry Jam / Compote

I look at Jam as a way to preserve summer in a jar 😛 Every summer my mom used to make mango jam at home. She did the same thing with strawberries last summer and now I am following her tradition with yet another awesome superfood of this planet – blueberries.

Ingredients:

2 pounds fresh blueberries
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1/8 cup lemon juice

That’s it. Wash blueberries and let them dry completely. No need to chop blueberries, they are so tender they break down easily once heated.

In a sauce pan, mix blueberries and sugar and mix it well till the mixture comes to a boil. You can reduce it further but I like it to keep it at this consistency. This is also call ‘blueberry compote’ and can be used as blueberry spread for bread, syrup for pancakes or yogurt, combinations are endless!

Once the mixture cools down, add lemon juice and keep it in a glass jar in your refrigerator.
