Wild blueberry jam

Ah, wild blueberries — they need no introduction! Juicy, sweet, and flavourful, they are hand-picked in the forests of Saguenay. Each little jar holds a bit of our history — the story of our connection to wild harvesting, one of the last traditions still practised by many people in Quebec.

Ingredients

• wild blueberries
• organic sugar
• fruit pectin
• citric acid

The best recipes are always the simplest

It took Gourmet Sauvage many years before finally deciding to make a blueberry jam. They wanted to concentrate on less well known northern fruit, and, let’s face it, the shelves of stores are full of blueberry jams…

One day when Gerald, the founder of Gourmet Sauvage, was harvesting, he came upon a big patch of blueberries. He picked a good quantity and not wanting to lose the harvest, decided to make it into jam.

Wow! The forgotten taste of the small wild berries! We just had to offer such a jam, a real jam made with quality wild fruit like the jam our grandmothers made.

The berries are cooked slowly to keep them whole and we add a minimum of sugar. Delightful !
