Instructions

  • Add the blueberries, date paste, and lemon zest to a large pot and place on the stove set to low-medium heat.
  • Cook uncovered for 30 minutes on medium heat, stirring occasionally until the jam thickens slightly (it will thicken more as it cools).

Notes

  • Store the jam in an airtight container in the fridge for up to seven days or in the freezer for up to three months.
  • You can substitute any type of berries or chopped fruit in this recipe.
