Jam Jars

Ingredients
  

  • 300 g Blueberries (Fresh or frozen)
  • 2 tbsp Water
  • 2 Eggs
  • 100 g Sugar
  • 80 g Butter
  • 1 tbsp Lemon Juice

Instructions
 

  • Add the blueberries to a medium saucepan along with the water. Cook the blueberries over a medium heat until the berries burst and they're soft enough to easily squash. About 5 minutes.
  • Add the lemon juice, sugar and butter to the blueberries.
  • Continue to stir over the heat until the sugar and butter have melted – about 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Pour the mixture into blender jug ready to puree. Use a stick blender or regular blender to puree the mixture until it is as smooth as possible.
  • Add the eggs and blend again until everything is incorporated.
  • Strain the mixture back into the saucepan. This will remove the remaining pieces of blueberry skin.
  • Stir the mix over the heat until it has thickened. You can raise the heat a little at the beginning to get the heat up. Keep stirring and make sure to keep scraping along the bottom of the pan.
  • The curd is ready once it coats the back of a spoon. This should take no more than 8 to 10 minutes. You will know it is ready when it stops getting any thicker.
  • Take off the heat and pour in clean sterilised glass jars.
