Instant Pot Blueberry Jam Recipe Ingredients:
- 900 g Fresh Blueberries
- 150 g White Sugar
- ½ Large Lemon juice only
- 125 ml Honey optional
Instructions
- Remove any leftover stalks or soft blueberries and weigh out 900g of fresh blueberries and place them in the Instant Pot.
- Place the Instant Pot on sauté and sauté the fresh blueberries with the white sugar and the juice of ½ a large lemon. Sauté until you see the colour from the blueberries staining the white sugar.
- Turn off sauté, place the lid on the Instant Pot and set the valve to sealing.
- Cook for 2 minutes on manual pressure.
- Use NPR (natural pressure release) and remove the lid from the Instant Pot.
- Drain the Instant Pot contents into a sieve and bowl. So that as you pour the blueberry jam into the sieve that any leftover liquid goes in the bowl beneath and you don’t lose the blueberry liquid.
- Place the solids from the sieve back into the Instant Pot and place it back on sauté. Allow it to simmer for a couple of minutes and add in a little of the liquid back in a bit at a time.
- Once it has simmered and you have a naturally thick blueberry jam, pour the jam into sterilised jam jars.
- Place the lids on the blueberry jam jars once it is cool. Freeze once completely cold.
Notes
I drain the blueberry jam as then I don’t have to add anything unnatural such as corn flour. It tastes much better and you have a spare blueberry syrup to use in other recipes.
After re-adding some of the blueberry liquid I was left with a total of 300ml of unused blueberry syrup. The best use out of it for us was into ice cubes and you can now get them from the freezer for a future time.
You can replace your caster sugar with honey, just make sure you sauté the honey on low for a few minutes first so that the honey is not as thick.
