Instructions
- Start by washing your blueberries thoroughly if you are using fresh ones. If you’re using frozen blueberries, there’s no need to thaw them beforehand.
- In a large pot, combine the blueberries and freshly squeezed lemon juice.
- Add in the coconut palm sugar or honey, and a pinch of salt. Stir the mixture well.
- Place the pot over medium heat and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 10–15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- In a small bowl, mix the cornstarch with a few tablespoons of water to create a slurry. Slowly pour the cornstarch mixture into the pot while stirring continuously.
- Continue to simmer the jam for another 5–10 minutes, stirring frequently until it reaches your desired thickness.
- Once your Clean Eating Blueberry Jam is ready, remove it from heat and allow it to cool. Transfer it to a clean jar or container and store it in the refrigerator.
