Blueberry Basil Freezer Jam



What you need,

4 cups of fresh blueberries
2 tbsp. lemon juice, about 2 tablespoons
1½ cups granulated sugar
1 envelope of Benardin freezer jam pectin (45g)
¼ cup basil leaves

In a large bowl, stir together the sugar and pectin.

In a blender combine the lemon juice, blueberries and basil leaves. I tore the basil leaves up into small pieces.
Pulse the mixture until well mixed but not pureed, a few chunks are good.

Pour the berry mixture into the sugar mixture and stir for a full 3 minutes.

Transfer the jam to small jars/containers. I love using these Ball freezer jam containers. Store the jam in the freezer until you are ready to use. The jam will stay good in the fridge once it is thawed for at least a month.
