Quick blueberry jam 5 minutes
As a rule, I prepare this jam for 5 minutes from black currants. But this year I wanted to pamper myself and cook something new. So I made a simple and delicious blueberry jam. Blueberries are perfect for this preparation.
The berry is strong, with a distinct bright color, seedless and with the necessary sourness. All the steps for preparing this type of quick blueberry jam are outlined in my simple recipe with step-by-step photos.
To prepare the product, we need to prepare berries, sugar and water in a certain ratio - 5:6:1.5. Regardless of the container we use to measure the ingredients, this ratio will be preserved. I took a small coffee cup because this time I will be making a small amount of jam.
How to make blueberry jam for the winter
We sort the prepared berries (in my case there were 5 small cups) from the leaves, tails, twigs and wash them under cold running water.
Pour 1.5 cups of water into an enamel, stainless steel or glass pan and add 6 cups of sugar. Cook the syrup.
Place the berries in the boiling syrup and note the time after boiling.
After 5 minutes, 5 minutes is ready. If the cooking time is increased to 7-10 minutes, the jam will be thicker, but the “freshness” effect will be lost.
We pour our delicious food into clean, sterilized over a boiling kettle, jars.
Roll the blueberry jam under the lid.
I decided to take small jars, 1.25 liters in volume. This volume is convenient, since in winter you can open such a small jar and empty it at once.
Children love blueberry jam for 5 minutes. Even unloved cottage cheese or semolina porridge, sprinkled with blueberry jam, are instantly eaten.
