“We had an early blueberry season in 2011, and as I was canning peaches, I saw this recipe and decided to try it. A very nice, and very different jam. You taste the sweetness of the blueberries first, followed by a splash of tart lime. A nice condiment to have around when you want something that isn’t super sweet.” – April Ferre
