Equipment

  • Potato Masher

Ingredients
  

  • 2.5 cups fresh blueberries 
  • 1.5 cups sugar
  • 1 lemon juiced or ¼ cup lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 1 tbsp cold water

Instructions
 

  • Place blueberries in a medium pot.
  • Add sugar and lemon juice.
  • Mash the blueberries and ingredients with potato masher (if they are too hard, wait to mash them)
  • Bring mixture to a boil over high heat, and every so often, mash the berries with the masher.
  • Once it’s boiling and you’ve mashed the berries, turn them down to medium-high and add the cornstarch slurry (cornstarch plus water).
  • It will begin to thicken quickly, so do not take your eye off it.
  • Let it cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring every minute.
  • Pour into a large bowl and let it cool for 30-45 min at room temperature.
  • Once cooled, transfer preserves to mason jars or other airtight containers.
