How to Make Microwave Blueberry Jam

  1. Gently rinse 2 cups of fresh blueberries and remove any stems.
  2. Puree the blueberries in a blender or food processor until smooth.
  3. In a 12-cup microwave-safe bowl, combine the blueberry puree, 1 ½ cups of granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon. Stir well to ensure the sugar is fully incorporated.
  4. Microwave on high, uncovered, for 8-10 minutes, or until the mixture reaches a full rolling boil and continues to boil vigorously for a full minute. Watch carefully as microwaves vary.
  5. Stir the mixture halfway through the cooking time to prevent scorching.
  6. Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave. Let the jam cool slightly before pouring it into sterilized jars.
  7. Secure the lids tightly on the jars.
  8. Allow the jam to cool completely before refrigerating. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow it to fully set. Your homemade blueberry jam will keep well in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
