Homemade Blueberry Jam Recipe

Following on from my raspberry jam recipe, I thought I’d share with you how I make blueberry jam. It’s slightly different to the raspberry jam recipe and is for a smaller batch.
Ingredients
300g blueberries
50g white sugar
Juice of 1 lemon
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon
Method
Mix the blueberries, sugar and lemon juice together in a pan
Add the cinnamon and stir
Place the saucepan over a medium and stir continuously for 30 minutes until thickened


Carefully transfer into airtight jam jars and leave to cool.


Once cool pop the lid on – making sure it’s airtight – and pop in the fridge to thicken.
Freezing blueberries
I went to a fruit farm and picked our blueberries so we had quite a few left over.
To freeze blueberries lay them out onto a baking tray and place them in the freezer. Do not wash them. You can give them a rinse when you defrost them.
Once the blueberries are hard, you can then transfer them into freezer bags for easier storage in your freezer.

I started Twin Mummy and Daddy in 2012.  

Over time Twin Mummy and Daddy has gone from strength to strength. I write about our family life, my love for running and our passion for adventure and travel.  

We’ve also started living a more eco-friendly life. As such I also write about our zero waste journey in a bid to encourage others to think about the impact they have on the environment.

I’m a keen runner and in April 2019 I ran the London Marathon for an amazing charity called WellChild. It’s one of my biggest achievements to date. I raised over £2,000 for the charity and learnt so much along the way.

This year we’re passionate about spending time outdoors. We’ll be sharing our travel, days out and camping adventures right here on Twin Mummy and Daddy.
