Spicy Blueberry Jam
15. May, 2009
This is more of a thick sauce than a jam as I don't use gelatin or other thickening agents. You can make it thicker by using pectin. I love this jam-sauce on top of waffles and the hint of spice is a wonderful match with the blueberries.
This is such a healthy jam and I absolutely love it
