Yum, blueberry butter sounds awesome! Sorry it did not work out as you had hoped. Marisa may be right. I remember my mom making us waiting a long time (at least it seemed like forever as a child) before we were aloud to open the jars. Also, you may want to check out local goodwill, thrift shops or yard sales and pick up an old slow cooker. FYI: If I was in Jersey right now, I would so stop by an steal a jar.

Marisa thanks for the tip. I’ll definitely hold onto them and open another jar in a couple of weeks. Your peach jam is next on my list:)

I’m really sorry to hear that your blueberry butter didn’t work out as you had hoped. I would recommend waiting a couple of weeks and then opening a jar to try it again. Sometimes, a bit of time hanging out in the jar helps preserves mellow and blend.
