I love that it’s low sugar. How do you use the blueberries? 😊
Yes, it’s such a wonderful way to keep them! I use them in pancakes, fruit topping for desserts, and even smoothies! There are so many possibilities 🥰
I just wash and dump them in a pot without water, i just mash it a bit and bring it to rolling boil. Add a bit of sugar accorsing to my taste, medium boil and until the desired thickness. Yes, it will thicken, and didn't take too long as i did not add water to it. I only add a DASH of lemon so as not to make it too tart that it requires more sugar than i prefer (diabetes issue, and i use monkfruit sugar). I do this only is if i know it will be consumed in a few days or a wk or so, kept in the fridge. I would still do the same when i do water bath, lessens the time to boil if no water, no need for that sweet pectin, only a little if needing, but adding some fresh lemon to taste will do. I don't like too sweet jam or preserve, hence i prefer to make my one when it's fruit season. Easier to get the desired consistency when cooked in small batches.
I will absolutely have to try the no water method next time! I bet your canned blueberries are delicious 💙
Thanks do they go soft or are they firm?
They are still pretty soft!
