Elevate Your Charcuterie Board with Blueberry & Chardonnay Honey Jam

It’s August is Here & It’s Blueberry Season in Ontario

This Blueberry & Chardonnay Honey Jam is THE BEST way to celebrate the summer season! Is there anything better than spending some time under the warmth of the summer sun, standing in a field filled with ripened berries, filling your baskets? Berry picking is one of my favourite summer traditions with my mom, we go once a month starting in June with the strawberries, then the raspberries in July, and blueberries in August (we also head out to the apple orchards in September but I will save that for another post). There is something so gratifying about baking and cooking with local ingredients and produce!

Blueberry & Chardonnay Honey Jam

Honey Harvested in Micro-Batches Makes The Best Jam

Micro-batch honey is one of the best-kept foodie secrets! It is harvested ten frames to a pail, and extracted two frames at a time. My micro-batch harvested honey allows you to experience the unique flavors and aromas from different nectar sources. Engineered by the bees, each one of my honey harvests is truly one of a kind, made up of the nectar from a variety of flowers that the bees chose to visit. Unfiltered, and raw, this honey is in its most natural state, and in the process, preserving the exclusive flavor.

The unique flavors and aromas really come alive in this 6 ingredient jam. Planning on entering your jam into a fall fair or competition? Make sure you use micro-batch honey as your secret ingredient for a real competitive edge!

Ready to give micro-batch honey a try? I’ve got just the Ontario honey for you, made by my bees, in beautiful Loretto, Ontario!

Blueberry & Chardonnay Honey Jam

This is a wonderful addition to your charcuterie board, it pairs well with baked brie, or use it drizzled on fresh vanilla ice cream, but for a truly magical experience use it as a topper on freshly made cheesecake.

Cuisine European

Servings 4 250 ml canning jars

Equipment

• 4 250 ml canning jars
• 1 Water canning pot & equipment
• 1 Zester & or grater
• 1 Cast iron or stainless steel deep skillet

Ingredients

  

• 5 cups Fresh Blueberries
• 2.5 cups Raw Wildflower Honey * see notes below
• 2 cups Chardonnay ** see notes below
• 1/3 cup Regular Powdered Fruit Pectin 1.75 ounce package
• 1 tbsp Lemon Juice
• 1 tsp Butter

Instructions

 

• Place berries in a deep cast iron or stainless steel skillet. Coarsely crush berries with a potato masher or for a smoother texture, you can use an immersion blender, to yield 3 cups.
• Stir in Chardonnay, honey, pectin, lemon juice, and butter. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat; stirring constantly or until jam sheets off a metal spoon.
• Remove from heat and skim off the foam with a metal spoon.
• Transfer the jam into sterilized jars. Cover with the lid, and gently screw down the metal rim with two fingers, just until resistance is met (do not close jars tightly – the air should be able to escape between the lid and the rim for the jar to seal properly). Process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes, then carefully remove the jars.
• Leave closed jars on the counter on a heatproof surface for 24 hours, until the lid has popped in and sealed properly (there will be a dip in the middle of the lid where the vacuum has sealed it).
• The sealed jam will keep sealed outside of the fridge for a year. Once opened, keep the jam in the fridge.

Notes

* For a truly memorable jam, use a small batch, of local honey. You will enjoy the floral notes and lightly sweet taste, which will complement the blueberries & Chardonnay. 

** The jam doesn’t taste boozy. The alcohol burns off and the wine just deepens the flavor, like red wine in a stew.
