A thick homemade blueberry filling with bright lemon flavor that pairs perfectly with cinnamon rolls, pastries, cakes, and more. Sweet, tangy, and bursting with blueberry flavor.

Ingredients

• 3 pounds frozen blueberries
• 2 cups sugar
• Zest and juice of 2 lemons

Instructions

1. Add blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and lemon zest to a large stockpot. Stir well.
2. Place over medium-high heat and cover with a lid for the first 10 minutes to help the berries break down faster.
3. Remove lid and continue cooking for 15–20 minutes, stirring frequently.
4. Continue cooking until the mixture reduces by at least half and coats the back of a spoon.
5. Use an immersion blender for a smoother consistency if desired, or leave chunky.
6. Transfer jam to a bowl, cover, and refrigerate overnight until thick and spreadable.

Notes

You can substitute 3 cups of your favorite blueberry jam for rolls, if short on time.

Filling can be made several days ahead and refrigerated until ready to use.
