Wild Blueberry Lemon Jam

I've loved blueberries from the times we picked them wild, years ago, in the bogs of Northern Wisconsin. Here I use half wild Michigan blueberries and half cultivated. The flavor of blueberries, while complex, is not strong, and gets lost easily in jam. My goal was to heighten the acid level with fruits that combine to mirror its flavor--first Meyer lemon juice and zest, then pineapple juice, a bit of my own Raspberry Champagne Jelly, my Thai Ginger Syrup (galangal root) and a splash of fine cognac. The result is a jam whose supporting cast helps to intensify and celebrate the superb flavor profile of a blueberry.

Ingredients: blueberries, sugar, pineapple juice, Meyer lemon juice and zest, raspberries, galangal root syrup, cognac, pure citrus pectin.
