Ingredients
- 500 grams Blueberries
- 300 grams Apples
- 400 grams Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 100 milliliters Water
Directions
Step 1
Rinse the blueberries thoroughly under cold water, removing any stems or debris.
Step 2
Peel, core, and dice the apples into small cubes.
Step 3
In a large saucepan, combine the blueberries, diced apples, and water.
Step 4
Cook over medium heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruits soften and the apples begin to break down.
Step 5
Add the granulated sugar and lemon juice to the saucepan. Stir well to combine.
Step 6
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to maintain a steady simmer.
Step 7
Simmer for 30–35 minutes, stirring frequently, until the mixture thickens and reaches a jam-like consistency. To test, place a small amount of jam on a chilled plate; if it holds its shape and wrinkles slightly when pushed with a spoon, it’s ready.
Step 8
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the jam cool slightly for 5–10 minutes.
Step 9
Carefully ladle the jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top. Seal the jars tightly.
Step 10
Allow the jam to cool completely to room temperature before storing in the refrigerator. The jam will keep for up to 3 weeks in the fridge or can be processed further for long-term storage.
