Blueberry Grape Jam | Sides

Recipe from Fixitsamo on YouTube

Ingredients & Adaptations

1. 650g Seedless grapes*

2. 15ml Lemon juice

3. 200g Caster sugar**

4. Handful of fresh/ frozen blueberries***

*I adjusted the recipe and ratio based on how many grapes I had.

**I might have added lesser sugar as my family do not have a sweet tooth, but you need enough sugar to make it syrupy.

***Blueberries are optional but I had some leftovers on hand so I threw them in.

Directions

1. In a non-stick saucepan/ pan, pour in grapes, blueberries (if using), lemon juice and sugar and let simmer on medium-low heat.

2. Once slightly heated, crush to desired consistency with potato masher or if you have a handheld immersion blender.

3. Bring to a boil on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally to prevent it from burning.

4. Reduce the heat and simmer until it thickens.

5. It is ready once it holds together and does not slide around when placed on a chilled plate.

6. Pour in jar and sit in room temperature to cool down completely before chilling it in the fridge. It will thicken further as it chills.

Thoughts

I love making this to use up all the leftover grapes at home, along with any other fruits. I made another version with some orange fruit and zest for some citrus touch. It is simple and you know what goes into your jam. Highly recommend!
