Ingredients
Homemade Blueberry Jam
- 6 1⁄2 cups fresh blueberries, coarsely chopped (about 5 pints)
- 1 package granulated fruit pectin for lower-sugar recipes
- 4 1⁄2 cups granulated sugar, divided
Blueberry Chocolate-Covered Pretzels
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips
- 1⁄3 cup homemade blueberry jam
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 cups mini pretzels
Instructions
Homemade Blueberry Jam
- In a large saucepan, combine blueberries and 1/2 cup water. In a small bowl, stir together pectin and 1/4 cup of the sugar; stir into blueberry mixture. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
- Add remaining sugar all at once; return to a rolling boil. Boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; skim off any foam. Let stand for about 30 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
Blueberry Chocolate-Covered Pretzels
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips, 1/3 cup of the jam, and cream; microwave on Medium for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring every 20 seconds, until smooth and melted.
- Using 2 forks, dip pretzels in melted chocolate mixture, letting any excess drip back into the bowl. Place in a single layer on parchment paper–lined baking sheets. Refrigerate for about 1 hour or until chocolate is set and hardened.
- Drizzle additional melted chocolate over pretzels.
Recipe Tip
- Remaining jam can be covered and refrigerated for up to 1 week.
- Store pretzels in an airtight container in a cool, dry area for up to 7 days.
