How to Make Spiced Blueberries

  1. Gently combine 4 cups fresh blueberries, 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground cloves, and 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to a gentle simmer. Cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries have softened and released their juices.
  3. Stir in 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar. Increase the heat slightly and continue to boil for another 30 minutes, or until the mixture has thickened to a jam-like consistency. Stir frequently to prevent scorching.
  4. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Carefully skim off any foam that may have formed on the surface.
  5. Ladle the spiced blueberries into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Seal tightly and process according to current canning guidelines (see https://nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_home.html for detailed instructions).
  6. Allow the jars to cool completely. Check seals to ensure they've properly sealed (the lid shouldn’t flex when pressed). Store in a cool, dark place.
