BLUEBERRY MELON SALAD WITH THYME SYRUP



Blueberry Melon Salad With Thyme Syrup image

I love lemon thyme and always have several plants available. This recipe makes use of the wonderful melons of summer and fresh thyme. You can make up just the syrup and drizzle it on any fruit you want, as needed, if this quantity is too large for you. The syrup keeps for about a week in the refrigerator.

BLUEBERRY-THYME JAM



Blueberry-Thyme Jam image

Blueberry jam was the first thing I ever canned, and it remains a beloved preserve. This version includes some fresh thyme, a twist that works just as well on a cheese board as on a PB&J.

Provided by Marisa McClellan

Time 1h5m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 pounds fresh blueberries, crushed
1 lemon, zested and juiced
4 cups white sugar
3 tablespoons fruit pectin (such as Sure-Jell®)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves

Steps:

  • Submerge 6 empty half-pint jars on a rack in a large pot of water. Cover and bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to low to keep jars warm until ready to fill.
  • Tumble blueberries and lemon zest and juice into a wide, nonreactive 8-quart pot. Whisk together sugar and pectin in a small bowl, then stir into pot until combined.
  • Bring to a vigorous boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-high; cook, stirring frequently and adjusting heat as needed to maintain a gentle boil, until volume has reduced by at least 1/3, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in thyme after 18 minutes of cooking. Remove pot from heat and check for set.
  • Working with one jar at a time, remove empty jars from canning pot. Using a wide-mouth funnel, carefully ladle jam into jars, leaving 1/2 inch for headspace. Use a clean wooden chopstick to work air bubbles out of jars. Check headspace again and add more jam if necessary to bring to 1/2 inch from the top.
  • Wipe jar rims, apply lids and bands (not too tightly), and return jars to canning pot; cover pot and return water to a rolling boil. Process for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, remove pot lid, and let jars stand in the cooling water 5 minutes to help ensure a good vacuum seal.
  • Move jars to a folded kitchen towel or wooden cutting board to cool completely before checking seals. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and eaten promptly. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. They are shelf-stable at least 1 year.
