Steps:

  • Mix blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a saucepan.
  • Cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until thickened, about 30 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, fresh blueberries: This will ensure the best flavor and texture in your jam.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you're making a large batch of jam, use a wide, shallow pan so that the berries have plenty of room to spread out and cook evenly.
  • Stir the jam frequently: This will help to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pan and burning.
  • Use a candy thermometer to test the jam: The jam is ready when it reaches 220°F (105°C).
  • Let the jam cool completely before storing it: This will help to prevent it from crystallizing.

Conclusion:

Making small-batch blueberry jam is a great way to enjoy fresh, homemade jam without having to make a large batch. This recipe is easy to follow and yields just enough jam for a few jars. The jam can be used on toast, biscuits, pancakes, or waffles, or added to yogurt or ice cream. It's also a great way to use up any extra blueberries you have on hand.
