Vacuum-packed blueberry jam

Ingredients

  • 250 g blueberries
  • 15 g lemon juice
  • 180 g sugar
  • 6 g lemon zest

Preparation

1. Wash the blueberries and drain them well.

2. Place the blueberries, lemon juice, sugar and lemon zest in a vacuum bag.

3. Vacuum pack at 99% using a vacuum packing machine.

4. Cook in a SmartVide sous-vide cooker at 80 °C for 1 hour.

5. Cool the bag once cooking is complete.

6. Blend the jam with an XM-12 hand blender until you achieve the desired texture.

In this recipe, the sous-vide technique allows you to cook the blueberries evenly while maintaining precise control over the temperature. Low-temperature cooking helps ensure good preservation and means you can have seasonal fruit ready to use.
