What makes blueberry preserves different from other types of jam?
Blueberry preserves stand out from other types of jam due to their distinct flavor profile and texture. Unlike fruit jams that often contain a wide range of fruits, blueberry preserves are made primarily with fresh or frozen blueberries, resulting in a concentrated and intense blueberry flavor. The cooking process involved in making preserves also helps to break down the pectin in the blueberries, creating a thicker, more spreadable consistency.The difference lies not only in the taste but also in the level of sugar used. Blueberry preserves typically require less added sugar compared to other fruit jams, as the natural sweetness of the blueberries is preserved during the cooking process. This results in a product that's both delicious and relatively lower in sugar content. The unique combination of flavor and texture makes blueberry preserves a popular choice among jam enthusiasts, who appreciate the subtle nuances that set it apart from other types of fruit spreads.

How long does homemade blueberry preserve typically last in the fridge?
The shelf life of homemade blueberry preserves in the fridge can vary depending on several factors, including the sugar content, acidity level, and storage conditions. Generally, homemade blueberry preserves that are properly made and stored will last for at least 6 months to a year when refrigerated.Properly sterilized jars and lids, followed by accurate canning procedures, also play a significant role in extending the shelf life of these preserves. If you notice any mold, yeast growth, or an off smell upon opening, it's best to discard the preserve for safety reasons. Regular inspections will help you determine if your homemade blueberry preserves are still fresh and safe to consume.
Do your products have any added sugars?
Our blueberry preserves are made with only the finest ingredients and minimal processing. As a result, we do add natural sugars to our products in the form of honey and/or pure cane sugar. However, the amounts added are carefully controlled to ensure that our jams retain their traditional flavor profiles while remaining low on the glycemic index.In fact, many of our blueberry preserves have zero or very minimal added sugars compared to commercial brands. We achieve this by using high-quality fruit that is rich in natural sweetness and a proprietary blend of spices that enhance the overall flavor experience without adding refined sugars. If you're concerned about sugar intake, we encourage you to check the ingredient list for each specific product to get an accurate idea of the sugar content.
