Instructions
Mash blueberries with a fork in a small bowl. Transfer to a 3 1/2-quart pot. Add figs
sugar
water
lime juice
and balsamic vinegar. Lightly pulse with an immersion blender until mostly smooth
with some chunks remaining for texture.
Place the pot over medium-high heat. Stir continuously as it comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cook
stirring periodically
until thickened
20 to 25 minutes. Check doneness by dropping a small spoonful of jam onto a frozen plate. Let sit for 1 to 2 minutes; if jam appears to gel
it is ready. Continue cooking if jam appears thin and runny.
When jam has thickened
remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly
about 10 minutes. Pour jam into a clean jar with a hermetic seal. Allow to cool completely before refrigerating.
Tips
You can use lemon juice instead of lime juice.
