Healthy Blueberry Jam

Blueberry jam have always been one of my favourite toppings. I love slathering some on top of gluten free crackers, pancakes or oatmeal! This really is the most delicious thing I have in the fridge for the moment, and I eat it together with everything! Not only is it super-delicious, but it's also one of the healthiest and most nourishing topping you can possibly get! Blueberries is, as we call it a real superfood. It's high in dietary fiber, minerals, vitamins and a massive amount of anti-oxidants, all important factors to reach optimal health and wellness. Blueberry jam is very easy to make as well, so I honestly can't see why people don't make it on their own instead of buying the ones in the store which has been through numerous processes and that contains a lot of refined sugar. I'm totally convinced that from now on, I'm going to make these jars of blueberry jam at least once every other week.
