Blueberry jam 🫐

  • Blueberry Jam
    Ingredients
    - 1kg (2.2 lbs) blueberries (I used 2kg [4.4 lbs])
    - 200g (7 oz) sugar
    - 60ml (2 fl oz) apple cider vinegar
    - 1 tsp fennel pollen (star anise also works great)
    Method
    1. Wash the berries well and then drain. Place the berries into a bowl with the sugar and mix well. Cover with a tea towel and leave at room temperature for 3-4 hours.
    2. Next, place the berries and any liquid that has come off into a large pot. Over medium-high heat, bring to a simmer, then turn the temperature down to medium-low and cook until it thickens. This will take about 2 hours. Once you’re at this stage, you can add the fennel pollen (if using star anise or cinnamon, place them in at around the one-hour mark).
    3. Sterilise your jam jars by boiling them in water for 5 to 10 minutes. Pour the hot jam into the jars and place a lid on. Let them cool to room temperature before you place them in the fridge.
    4. The jam will last in your fridge for up to 6 months unopened and 1 month once opened.

      If you put a small piece of lemon rind in the pot while cooking the berries then take it out before putting in the jars it uplifts the flavour with a hint of lemon .

      If you pour 1/4" of melted paraffin wax on top of the jam before you put on the hot lid, it will form an extra barrier seal and you can store it in your cupboard.

For someone like me that is the norm, and it has an entirely different theme and feel to it. Growing up in Sydney, my sort of childhood memories of xmas are all hot summer days in the xmas period, long days, tropical kind of storms in the afternoon/evening, cicadas and crickets at night, and xmas was always like a bbq type deal. Loads of cold drinks and meats done on the grille. Water balloon wars between all the children and setting up slip and slides, playing under sprinklers, and just that general type of thing. It never snows in Sydney (or almost any of Australia at all), but the sort of hallmark image of a white xmas and all that accompanies it seems totally foreign to me and it would be weird.

    If you wanna put them away for years put the filled jars in a pressure cooker on lowest heat on your smallest stove for about 30 minutes, and cover the hot jars with blankets (we tradionally use plaid) so they cool off As slowly as possible. You can keep unopened jam for decades because the pressure cooker creates vaccuum.

    Only 100 g of sugar? Thats amazing! In Europe, recipes generally have the same amount of sugar for the same amount of fruits. This helps the stability, the jam may be kept at room temperature for 2 years, but increases blood sugar levels heavily when you eat it. The solution I see in this video its better for the diet and health. Ok, you need to keep it in the fridge, but its 5 times less sugar in the product. Lovely idea!

    We make something called Heidelbeertatscherl.
    Its like a blueberrie pancake. (The dough is a tiny bit runnier than it would be for pancakes tho)
    And we dont just stack them, we put a layer in a casserole, put cinnamon sugar on it. Next layer of pancakes sugar again and so on.
    Oven preheated to a 100°C you just want them to stay warm.
    If you use our blueberries everyone will have a completly blue tongue afterwards.

I have some recommendations: there is special jam making sugar out there, in German its called Gelierzucker, it is basically sugar with pectine. Using this, you dont need to cook for a two hours, a few minutes are enough. In this way, you dont cook away the more fresh/acidic component of the fruit/berries and it tastes fresher in the end.
