Blueberry jam preparation method one
food ingredientsPrepare
Fresh blueberries (frozen) 200 grams, lemon 1/2 a piece, fine sugar 80-100 grams (adjust sweetness to personal preference).
Steps Procedures
1. Rinse the fresh blueberries and drain the water.
Squeeze the lemon.
3. Use a fork to roughly crush the blueberries.
4. Add fine sugar andlemon juiceMix evenly.
5. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally.
6. Wait until all the sugar has dissolved, then switch to high heat and boil until the blueberry syrup reduces to half.
7. Simmer over low heat until it becomes thick, and you can see marks when scraping the bottom with a spoon. Adjust the thickness to your preference; the longer you cook it, the thicker it will become, but be sure not to cook it too dry and hard.
During cooking, stir occasionally with a wooden spoon to prevent burning at the bottom.
9. Pour into sterilized glass jars while hot, then invert to cool.
10. Cool down before placing the bottle upright and storing at room temperature. If using frozen blueberries, please thaw them first.
Tips
1. The sweetness can be adjusted according to personal preference regarding the amount of white sugar, and yellow sand sugar or rock sugar can be used instead of fine sugar. If it's not for large-scale production or long-term storage, steps 9 and 10 can be omitted.
2. Allow the jam to cool completely before placing it into clean containers and storing it in the refrigerator.
Blueberry jam preparation method two
Ingredients preparation
Grapes 1000 grams, sugar 500 grams, lemon juice from one lemon, brandy 50 milliliters.
Steps
1. Wash the blueberries, place them in a large bowl, add sugar and lemon juice, cover with plastic wrap, and place in the refrigerator to steep for at least 4 hours until the sugar dissolves.
2. Put the blueberries from the large bowl into the copper pot, place it on the stove and bring to a boil over high heat. Maintain a simmer with medium heat, remove any foam or bubbles that rise to the surface, and stir occasionally to prevent sticking to the bottom of the pot.
Within 3-30 minutes, the moisture in the pot has concentrated, and the fruit flesh has become soft and ripe. Continue cooking until the jam begins to develop a thick consistency.
4. Turn off the heat and add the cognac, mix slightly, and pour while hot into jam jars, turning them upside down.
Tips
1. Due to different water content, frozen blueberries will cook faster when making jam compared to fresh blueberries, which may take longer.
2. If you prefer a grainy texture, you can also mix frozen and fresh blueberries.
3. When cooking blueberry jam, it is recommended to use yellow lemons. Yellow lemons have a special aroma but lower acidity, so you can add more if needed.
Blueberry jam preparation three
Ingredients preparation
Blueberries 400 grams, sugar 200 grams, half a lemon (juice).
Steps
1. Place the blueberries in a container, add sugar and let them macerate until the sugar dissolves. Divide into two portions. Take 2/3 of the blueberries, add lemon juice, put them in a pot, and cook until boiling (stir continuously during heating and occasionally remove surface foam and bubbles).
2. Boil for 15 minutes, then add the remaining 1/3 blueberries, along with sugar, and continue boiling while stirring constantly. Remove any foam or bubbles that appear on the surface. Cook until it reaches a thick consistency.
Tips
The amount of sugar in this recipe is not very high. If you follow this recipe to make the jam, the flavor will be relatively light. It must be stored in the refrigerator and should be consumed within two weeks. However, if you increase the sugar content to 80% of the blueberry weight, the jam can last for about three months.
