Ingredients
- 6 cups (888 g) blueberries
- 1 cup (200 g) light brown sugar, packed
- ½ cup (100 g) granulated sugar
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice, freshly squeezed
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- To a large pot over medium heat, add all ingredients and mix well. Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally and slightly mashing the blueberries to help them release their juices (about 15 minutes).
- Reduce heat to medium-low. Simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until the sugar is completely dissolved and the blueberries look jammy.*
- Remove from heat. Let the jam cool before transferring it to a jar or container for storage. It will last up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator. (The chilled blueberry jam will have a firmer consistency but should still be spreadable.)

Notes
*To check for the right consistency, place a small amount of jam on a chilled plate just after simmering. Allow it to cool for a minute, then run your finger through it. If it wrinkles and holds its shape, it's ready.
