Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Homemade Blueberry Spread.
Step 1
To create a delightful blueberry spread, start by grabbing a heavy saucepan and combining fresh blueberries, half a cup of water, and a splash of lemon juice.
Step 2
Set your stove to medium-high heat and bring this fruity mixture to a lively boil.
Step 3
Once it’s bubbling away, lower the heat and let it simmer gently for about eight minutes.
Step 4
Remember to stir frequently to keep those blueberries from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
Step 5
While your blueberries are simmering and filling your kitchen with a sweet aroma, take a moment to soak unflavored gelatin in a quarter cup of cold water until it softens.
Step 6
When the blueberries have finished simmering, carefully remove the saucepan from the heat.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to stir in the softened gelatin and a bit of white sugar, mixing until everything is fully dissolved and well combined.
Step 8
Next, pour this luscious blueberry mixture into hot, sterilized jars.
Step 9
Seal them tightly and let them cool at room temperature for around twelve hours.
Step 10
Once they’ve cooled, you can store your homemade blueberry spread in the refrigerator, where it will stay fresh for up to two weeks.
Step 11
Enjoy spreading this delicious treat on toast, pancakes, or even as a topping for desserts!.
