This Easy Small-Batch Blueberry Jam is the perfect way to enjoy the fresh, sweet flavor of blueberries without the hassle of large-scale canning. Made with just a handful of ingredients—fresh blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and a touch of lemon zest—this jam comes together in under 30 minutes. It’s naturally thickened by the fruit and citrus, making it ideal for spreading on toast, stirring into yogurt, or topping desserts. No pectin, no preservatives—just pure blueberry goodness in a small, manageable batch. Perfect for beginners or when you’ve got a cup or two of berries to use up!
