Instructions
- Rinse the blueberries with cold water, then drain the water well.
- Transfer the blueberries to a mixing bowl together with the sugar and lemon juice.
- Mix well to combine.
- Add the mixture to a pan set over a medium heat, and leave it to simmer until the blueberries are mushy, but there is still a bit of liquid left in the pan.
- Preheat oven at 200 degrees Celsius (390 Fahrenheit).
- Rinse and pat dry a jam jar, transfer it to a tray and into the oven to sterilise for 10 minutes.
- Carefully remove it using an oven glove, and pour in the hot jam - if there is a bit left, it can be transferred to a ramekin or small container and refrigerated until ready to use.
- Tighten the lid well, and place the jar upside down to allow the jam to cool down completely.
Notes
- Sterilising the jar and tightening the lid well to avoid air spoiling the jam ensure a good preserving for up to 2 years. If you plan to use the jam in the next few days, you can just transfer it to any container, and refrigerate.
- There is no need at all to add any water to the fruit before cooking it, as blueberries have a high water content anyway, and they release plenty of liquid quickly.
- Do not cook the jam until it's thick, as it cools down, it thickens further, and you will end you with a lump of jam, rather than one that's easy to spread.
