Description

Blueberry jam is a sweet preserve made from blueberries cooked with sugar, commonly used as a spread on bread, toast, biscuits, or as an accompaniment to desserts. Its texture is usually thick with small pieces of fruit, giving it a characteristic delicious sweet and tangy flavor.

The blueberry is a small berry native to temperate regions of the northern hemisphere, especially North America and Europe. Blueberry jam is very popular in North American and European cuisine, although its consumption has spread throughout Latin America due to its versatile flavor and health properties.

Among its properties, it stands out for its high antioxidant content, especially flavonoids, which help protect cells from oxidative damage. It is also rich in vitamin C and fiber, which contributes to improving the immune system and digestion.

In the gastronomic context of Hispanic America, blueberry jam may also be found under other names or synonyms, depending on the region, such as:

  • Blueberry sweet
  • Blueberry preserve
  • Blueberry jelly (although it is usually more liquid)
  • Blueberry jam (in some places, due to association with similar fruits)

This ingredient is ideal for adding a special and fruity touch to breakfast recipes, desserts, and even savory dishes that seek a sweet and sour contrast.
