I'm on the fence about these preserves. They have a nice flavor, but they're a bit too tart for my taste. I might try making them again with less sugar.

These preserves are just okay. They're not bad, but they're not great either. I probably wouldn't buy them again.

I was disappointed with these preserves. They're too sweet for my taste, and the wild blueberries are overpowered by the sugar. I won't be buying them again.

These preserves are a great way to use up fresh wild blueberries. I picked a bunch of berries from my backyard, and they were perfect for this recipe. The preserves are thick and flavorful, and they're perfect for spreading on toast or biscuits.

I was a bit hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a huge fan of blueberries. But I'm so glad I did! These preserves are amazing. The wild blueberries have a much more intense flavor than regular blueberries, and the preserves are perfectly swee
