What it is

Blueberry jam is a sweet spread made from cooked blueberries, sugar, and often pectin and lemon juice. It is created by heating these ingredients until the mixture thickens, preserving the fruit. The blueberries provide its distinctive flavor and color.

Why it's used

Manufacturers add blueberry jam to products primarily for its sweet, fruity flavor and soft, spreadable texture. It is commonly found in baked goods like cookies and bars, as a filling in pastries, or mixed into dairy products such as yogurt. It also serves as a topping for breakfast items.

Health notes

Blueberry jam is considered a food product rather than a food additive by the FDA. While blueberries themselves offer beneficial compounds, jam often contains significant amounts of added sugars. The 2025-2030 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend no specific amount of added sugars, but suggest limiting them to 10 grams per meal. JECFA and EFSA do not typically evaluate whole food products like jam.
