Description
Easy blueberry butter made with just two ingredients and no-sugar-added in 30 minutes. Use in place of jam or jelly for a fun spread.
Ingredients
Blueberry Butter
- 4 cups blueberries, fresh or frozen
- 1/4 cup lemon juice
- filtered water, as needed, to thin
- 2–4 TBSP maple syrup (optional, for sweeter butter)
For serving
- Bare Snacks Apple Chips
Instructions
- Rinse the fresh blueberries and remove any stems.
- Add the blueberries to a high-speed blender or food processor with lemon juice and blend until the blueberries are completely broken down.
- Add the blueberries to a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a low-boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer and allow blueberries to cook for 30 minutes, stirring at least every 5 minutes to prevent burning.
- Blueberry butter will thicken as it cooks down. Taste and add a little maple syrup, if desired, for sweeter butter. Blueberry butter is done when it coats your spoon when stirred and leaves open puddles on the saucepan.
- The butter will continue to thicken after you remove it from the stovetop. For thicker butter, cook a little longer. If your butter gets too thick, add filtered water in 1 TBSP increments to reach desired consistency.
- Cool the blueberry completely, then transfer it to glass airtight jars for storage. Store blueberry butter in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks. Serve with optional Apple Chips!
