Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries (or thawed frozen blueberries)
  • 3/4 cup sugar (adjust to taste, or substitute honey)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Rinse the blueberries thoroughly and drain well. Measure out sugar, lemon juice, butter, and cinnamon if using, so everything is ready before cooking.
  2. Cook the Blueberries: In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries and sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally until berries burst and release their juices, about 10 minutes.
  3. Blend the Mixture: Remove from heat and use an immersion blender to puree until smooth but slightly chunky, creating a spreadable texture.
  4. Add Lemon Juice and Butter: Return to low heat. Stir in lemon juice, butter, and cinnamon if desired. Cook gently for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  5. Cool and Store: Transfer the blueberry butter into sterilized jars while warm. Let cool to room temperature before sealing and refrigerating.

Notes

  • Use ripe blueberries for the best natural sweetness and vibrant color.
  • Stir constantly while cooking to prevent sticking and burning.
  • If too thick, add a splash of water or lemon juice to loosen the consistency.
  • Use sterilized jars for extended freshness and safe storage.
  • Allow spread to cool before sealing jars to prevent condensation and spoilage.
