I came across this recipe and I want to try it out this year! I plan on making some next week. I was wondering if anyone else has made this combination?
Here is the recipe:
8 cups blueberries
2 cups sugar
1 pack pectin
1/4 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
Make like regular blueberry jam but hold off on adding the basil until the last minute before removing the jam from heat. Wait 5 minutes to prevent fruit float, skim off any foam and put in jars, process 10 minutes in hot water bath canner.

| It sounds really interesting. I'd like to hear how others like it. I'm not sure my husband would go for the basil, he'd probably think it was too weird. |

I bet it would be wonderful!
I have made several different jams, butters and marmalades with unusual ingredients.
I have made Peach/ Lavender butter, Strawberry balsamic vinegar jam, cherry/ lemon thyme marmalade,
fig and thyme jam, cranberry juniper sauce. They have all turned out beautifully! Nven my hubby liked them, and he is reluctant to try anything weird.
