We make a lot of strawberry and raspberry freezer jam, but I wanted an option that didn't have white sugar, so I started making this blueberry honey freezer jam. I add it to my oatmeal and use it on toast for a healthier alternative.
Ingredients:
2 pints of fresh blueberries
2/3 cup honey
1 Tbsp lemon juice
After washing the blueberries, add them to a small, deep skillet. (Smaller surface area is better). I mash them with a potato masher. They don't all have to be mashed completely; they will cook down.
Add the honey and lemon juice.
Let the mixture come to a bowl.
Stir continuously with a heat-resistant spatula. This is what it looked like after 10 minutes.
Continue cooking until your jam has reached the consistency you would like. I cook mine for about 12-13 minutes. It is very thick when it sets up. Place in small jars and refrigerate or put in the freezer when cool.
