Easy Blueberry Preserves (no pectin)

Ingrediencie

1 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

¼ cups granulated sugar

½ tbsp lemon juice

¼ cups water plus more if needed

½ teaspoon cornstarch optional

Postup

Combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice and water in a small saucepan, bring the mixture to a boil.

Turn the heat down to medium low and let the mixture simmer for 15 minutes or until the blueberries have completely broken down.

Dissolve the cornstarch in about 1 tablespoon of water. With the mixture on a low simmer, add the dissolved cornstarch into the saucepan.

Continue cooking until the preserves reach your desired consistency, about 5 to 10 minutes.

Serve warm on top of biscuits, scones or waffles.

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to a week.
