With this paleo-friendly recipe for homemade blueberry preserves, you can savor the sweetness of blueberries as they are. It is a healthier substitute for store-bought varieties since it is made without pectin and is sweetened with honey.
Ingredients: 4 cups fresh or frozen blueberries. 1/2 cup honey. 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice.
Instructions: Rinse the blueberries and place them in a large saucepan. Add the honey and lemon juice to the saucepan with the blueberries. Heat the mixture over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Once the mixture begins to boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer for about 30-40 minutes, or until it thickens to your desired consistency. Stir occasionally. Remove the saucepan from the heat and allow the preserves to cool for a few minutes. Use a potato masher or immersion blender to gently crush the blueberries to your preferred level of smoothness. Leave some whole blueberries for texture if desired. Transfer the blueberry preserves to sterilized glass jars or containers and let them cool completely before sealing. Once cooled, store the homemade blueberry preserves in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or freeze for longer shelf life.
