Alpha Gal Friendly Blueberry Honey Jam

This jam is the kind of thing that makes a plain piece of toast feel like a treat — deep, jammy blueberries sweetened with honey and brightened by fresh lemon juice and zest. It comes together in a single saucepan with just a handful of clean, plant-based ingredients, which is exactly what you want when you're navigating a diet that requires careful attention to animal-derived additives hiding in unexpected places. Instead of pectin, which can sometimes raise questions about its source, this recipe uses arrowroot starch to achieve that glossy, spoonable consistency — and it works beautifully. The technique is simple: let the berries burst and reduce, then stir in the arrowroot slurry at the end and pull it off the heat quickly so it sets up perfectly. A pinch of sea salt rounds out the sweetness in a way that makes the whole jar taste more complex than the ingredient list suggests. Spoon it over biscuits, swirl it into yogurt, or spread it thick on anything that needs a little something extra.
