Posted 2016-06-03 by lydia ⇒ follow

There's nothing better than beautiful jam on crispy crumpets for breakfast. Or a late night snack. This jam is super easy and has an amazing flavour.

Preparation Time: 5 minutes
Cooking Time: 60 minutes
Makes: 3 x 200g jars

Ingredients
500g fresh or frozen blueberries
500g fine white sugar
1/2 cup good quality Bourbon

Method

Place the blueberries and sugar in a heavy based saucepan and gently heat until just simmering.

Stir regularly for 50 minutes to make sure all sugar is dissolved and even

throughout the jam. Add the Bourbon after 30 minutes of cooking.

To test whether it will set, take a half teaspoon of mixture and put on a cold plate. It should set in about 2 minutes. *Keep simmering for another 10 minutes if it isn't quite ready. Please note that the boiling time will vary depending on the water content of your fruit.

Allow to cool and then ladle into sterilised jars and seal tightly. Store in the pantry, not the fridge.
