What it is
This is a sweet spread made from whole blueberries. It is cooked down with sugar to create a thick, jam-like consistency. The conserve contains pieces of fruit, offering a more rustic texture than a smooth jelly. It is prepared in small batches to ensure quality. The primary ingredients are blueberries and sugar, with a touch of pectin to help it set.
