Blueberry Jam Recipe
We’re jammin’, I wanna jam it wid you. We’re jammin’, jammin’, And I hope you like blueberry jammin’, too.
I was craving fresh blueberry jam but I didn’t want to make a big batch of it, in fact I wanted to make jam with just 1 pint of blueberries. Maybe you’ll pick fresh blueberries from your garden or maybe you’ll pick up a pint of blueberries from the farmers market, either way you can enjoy this easy and quick recipe.
1 Pint Blueberry Jam
This jam recipe is incredibly easy to make! You’ll want to add 1 pint blueberries, honey, cinnamon and lemon juice to a saucepan. Bring it to a boil for about 30 minutes, or until it’s jam consistency, giving it a stir every few minutes to make sure it doesn’t stick to the pot.
This jam recipe can easily be tweaked to other berries – like blackberries or raspberries too! A few people reached out to me to ask me if they could use frozen blueberries in the recipe instead of fresh… well you can!
I prefer fresh berries for this recipe but frozen berries will still taste good. Just make sure to defrost the blueberries before you add to the pan, and keep a eye on the jam as the berries might cooker quicker than fresh ones.
How many cups is 1 pint of blueberries?
1 pint of blueberries equals about 2 cups fresh blueberries.
Don’t you love how flavorful blueberries are? I love that they’re so tiny but filled with flavor! They’re great to add to mini blueberry muffins, overnight oats, blueberry buckle or just enjoy on a piece of toast (like this jam!). In case you needed more reason to like blueberries, they also are high in antioxidants, boost brain health, support digestion and promote heart health!
I love spreading this blueberry jam on toast, scones (here’s my easy scones recipe), muffins, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, pancakes, french toast or more. It’s also delicious served over ice cream! However you serve it – I hope you enjoy it!

I am going to make this recipe in the morning with my girls. Using fresh blueberries we picked today! How long will it keep in the refrigerator?
Theresa Langley says
Hi , I made the blueberry jam yesterday, I cooked it slightly longer than I should have, so it’s thicker, it’s not as sweet as jam usually is, tart taste, which for me( being diabetic) is good😃
Sue says
I made your blueberry jam this morning. It was still quite warm when we spread it on our Dutch Baby pancake and topped it with freshly whipped heavy cream. Oh, did I mention we are camping this week and cooking on a wood fire? It tastes delicious and surprised my fellow campers to have
made -in -camp jam! This campground has a brick oven at the pavilion and worked great for the Dutch baby.
Pamela says
Hey Sue, this makes me so happy to hear! I wish I was camping with you to taste that wood fire cooking! What else are you cooking there?
