Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter (cold, cut into pieces)
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar (adjustable to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Blueberries: Wash fresh blueberries thoroughly. Place them in a medium saucepan over medium heat and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until softened and juices are released, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Sweeten and Reduce: Add granulated sugar and a splash of lemon juice to the softened blueberries. Continue cooking, stirring often, until the mixture thickens slightly and sugar dissolves completely, about 5 more minutes.
  3. Blend in Butter: Lower the heat and add cold unsalted butter pieces. Stir gently until the butter melts fully into the mixture, creating a smooth, creamy, and glossy blend.
  4. Optional Flavor Enhancements: Stir in ground cinnamon or any other preferred spices like ginger or nutmeg if desired, mixing well to distribute the flavor evenly.
  5. Cool and Store: Remove pan from heat and let the blueberry butter cool to room temperature. Transfer to a clean, airtight jar or container and chill in the refrigerator until thickened and ready to use.

Notes

  • Use ripe, fresh blueberries for best flavor and sweetness.
  • Take your time reducing the mixture for ideal thick texture.
  • Use cold butter to control melting and achieve creamy texture.
  • Store in sterilized jars for longer freshness and to avoid spoilage.
  • Adjust sugar and lemon juice to balance sweetness and tartness to your liking.
