Maple Blueberry Jammy

I thought making jam at home was a long and arduous process, but this one is super easy and yummy ! Best of all, this is made w/ all natural ingredients (no pectin, no sugar) and the finished product is gooey and not watery. This will taste amazing on toast or on fresh cold yogurt in the morning !

Cooking time: 30 min
Serving: 1 small cup of jammy

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cup fresh or frozen & thawed blueberries
1/2 cup maple syrup (mildly sweet) or add more if you like it very sweet
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (or juice of half lemon)
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice (or juice of half orange)


Step 1: In a sauce pan, add the blueberries and smash them down a little so the berries will release their juice.
Step 2: Add maple syrup and turn on the heat at low. When it starts to simmer, add the lemon and orange juice and stir.

Step 3: Let the mixture bubble at low heat for about 30 min. Stirring occasionally.

Step 4: Turn off the heat after 30 min and let the mixture cool. It will thicken naturally as it cools down. Put it in a jar and keep in the refrigerator.
