Ingredients

• 3 cups fresh blueberries
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the fresh blueberries thoroughly under cool water and pat them dry with a clean kitchen towel.

Step 2

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine blueberries, granulated sugar, lemon juice, and ground cinnamon.

Step 3

Place the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 4

Cook for about 10 minutes, or until the blueberries begin to burst and release their juices.

Step 5

Using an immersion blender, carefully puree the mixture directly in the pot until smooth. Alternatively, you can transfer the mixture to a stand blender and puree, then return it to the pot.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low and continue cooking the mixture, stirring frequently, until it thickens. This should take approximately 35-40 minutes. The mixture should coat the back of a spoon when ready.

Step 7

Once thickened, remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the unsalted butter until fully melted and incorporated. This will give the blueberry butter a silky texture.

Step 8

Allow the blueberry butter to cool slightly, then transfer it to clean, airtight jars or containers.

Step 9

Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
