Blueberry Jam No Pectin – Heidelbeer Marmelade

This is the time when blueberries are available for good deals. I found organic blueberries and decided to make some jam. That was a great idea! Never had better blueberry jam ever – so flavorful and not as sweet as the commercial ones. I am using empty jam or other glass jars with the matching lids. Works perfectly.
So I found this recipe online that was not using pectin. It contains ONLY 3 ingredients. So simple and so good. Sometimes I see on markets these homemade jams for sale and they contains all kinds of unnecessary ingredients such as corn syrup!
This jam is delicious, on toast, with pancakes or in yoghurts. Happy Jam Making!
