Balsamic Blueberry Jam
This Balsamic Blueberry Jam is easy to make, packed full of great blueberry nutrients, and is naturally sweetened from the blueberries and just a bit of pure maple syrup. The perfect homemade jam for your morning breakfast!*Note that From Start to Finish is an estimate and does not include time for your jam to cool.
Ingredients
- 2 cups fresh blueberries
- 2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 3 tablespoon pure maple syrup
- 2 tablespoon Water
- 2 teaspoon arrowroot
Instructions
- Add all ingredients except arrowroot powder to medium pot and gradually bring to medium heat, stirring regularly.
- Once your mixture starts to simmer (usually around 5 minutes), mash the berries in the pot with a potato masher or another utensil of choice. Allow to simmer another 5 minutes.
- Add arrowroot to the pot and stir to combine.
- Keep your jam at a simmer (DON'T let it boil), and cook another 10-20 minutes or until it reaches your desired thickness (keep in mind that it will thicken a bit more as it cools). Ideally you want your jam thick enough that when you run a spatula through it, it takes a few seconds for the space to fill back up.
- Remove from heat and allow to cool at room temp.
