Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh Blueberries
- 3/4 Cup Sugar
- 1 Tbsp Lemon Juice
- 1 Jalapeno Pepper, seeds removed and finely chopped
Instructions
- Put a small plate in the freezer to use for checking jam’s set
- Wash your produce, and remove any stems from berries
- Set a small sauce pan over low head, and add berries, jalapeño, lemon juice, and sugar
- When sugar is melted, bring the mixture to a rolling boil while mashing berries
- Once boiling, reduce heat and simmer about 20 minutes
- Check if Jam is set by by placing a small amount on the cold plate. If jam forms a skin that wrinkles when you push it, it is set.

Notes
Some jalapeños are hotter than others, so check the level of spice in yours and add more or less depending on your taste. Straining the jam prior to cooling with remove skins and result in a smoother texture.
