How to Make Diabetic Blueberry Jam
- Combine 2 cups fresh blueberries and 1/4 cup water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan.
- Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the berries have softened and released their juices.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1 tablespoon cornstarch and 2 tablespoons of cold water until smooth.
- Stir the cornstarch mixture into the simmering blueberries. Continue to stir constantly until the jam has thickened to your desired consistency (about 2-3 minutes).
- Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the jam cool slightly (about 5 minutes).
- Stir in your preferred artificial sweetener to taste. Start with 1/4 cup and add more as needed, depending on the sweetness of your chosen sweetener.
- Mix thoroughly to ensure the sweetener is evenly distributed.
- Once completely cool, transfer the jam to sterilized jars for storage. Enjoy warm or chilled!
