Cinnamon Blueberry Jam
Ingredients
- 5 pints blueberries, washed
- 3 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 1/2 tablespoons water
- 5 cinnamon sticks
This Cinnamon-Blueberry Jam is so good, you’re going to want to have it on hand at all times. It’s a jam that’s just too good to partner with peanut butter, but it’s a wonderful way to make your breakfast spread special. (Okay, if you really want to, you can make “gourmet” peanut butter and cinnamon-blueberry jam sandwiches.)
Why Try? The pairing of cinnamon with blueberry creates an incredible flavor experience. Slather it on biscuits, toast, muffins—even pancakes. You will not regret it!
Foodie Byte: This jam will keep in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 weeks. It makes an outstanding gift at holiday time—or anytime you want to brighten someone’s day.
Preparation
- Place blueberries, sugar, and water in a heavy saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring constantly, until the berries begin to release their juice (add a little more water if necessary to prevent sticking).
- Raise the heat slightly and add the cinnamon sticks. Boil the mixture gently, stirring frequently, until thick and syrupy, approximately 20 minutes.
- Transfer to sterilized pint jars, seal with the lids or melted paraffin, and store in a cool, dark place. Makes 2 pints.
