I skipped the port, used 1/2 the sugar, and threw in a few raspberries. Delish!
This is FABULOUS!! Seriously one of the best jams I've ever tasted. First time I doubled the amount of ginger and lemon zest, based on my taste tests. Second time I tripled the amount of ginger, squeezed in the juice from the zested lemon, and doubled the amount of port. SO GOOD!
I am inexperienced in jam making, so probably simmered it a bit longer than I should have, making it more firm than I might have liked after it was chilled. Trust the 30 minute simmering time! Made exactly as directed, it is still delicious!
Amazing jam. I have had little success with blueberry jam as it always turns out watery. I decided to try one more time and used this recipe and delighted with it. I followed the recipe and did cook it about 45 minutes.
Great recipe. I doubled the ginger like everyone else, and added about a teaspoon of lemon juice.
Anyone know if frozen blueberries can be used?
