2.5 cups water

Instructions

Blueberry jam

In a small saucepan, combine 5 cups fresh blueberries, 2.5 cups water, and ¾-1 cup sugar over medium heat. Stir and bring to a gentle boil.
Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens slightly. Stir in 1-2 tsp fresh lemon juice if using.
Set a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. Pour half the mixture through the strainer and press gently with a spoon to extract a smooth syrup.
Leave the remaining mixture unstrained to use as a chunky jam, or combine the syrup and jam for a balanced texture.
Set aside and let it cool to room temperature. Transfer each one into a clean jar or airtight container.
