Ingredients
- 5 cups fresh blueberries
- 3 jalapeno peppers seeded and finely chopped (about ¼ cup- adjust to taste for spiciness)
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 4 cups granulated sugar
Instructions
- In a large sized saucepan, combine all ingredients and stir until combined.
- Place over medium high heat and continue to stir until the berries begin to burst and sugar is dissolved.
- Use a potato masher, or the back of the spoon to press the berries until smooth.
- Increase the temperature slightly and cook until the jam reaches 220 degrees, stirring every few minutes. This will take about 25-30 minutes.
- Remove jam from heat and allow to cool slightly, before transferring to jars for storage
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Don’t use mushy berries: Only use fresh ingredients. If the blueberries are soft or wrinkly, skip them.
- Stir frequently: Keep a close eye on the ingredients as they cook on the stove. Stir often for even cooking.
- Watch the heat: Even though you will bring the mixture to a boil, don’t let it get too hot, or it could burn and ruin your jam.
