When blueberries are in season it’s easy to simply eat them by the handful. But if you find yourself with an overabundance or just want to try something new, Sandro’s blueberry jam is easy to make, full of pure blueberry flavor, and fantastic on yogurt, granola, bread and butter, or a gelato like Fior di Latte. This year we sourced our blueberries from Our Table Cooperative and made this jam to pour over a silky peach gelato for a special flavor to raise money for Friends of the Children-Portland. If you find a new use for this versatile and loose jam, let us know!
Ingredients
