Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by gathering all your ingredients for the slow cooker blueberry butter. Rinse blueberries under cool water, then drain. Zest and juice one lemon.
- In a spacious slow cooker, add the rinsed blueberries, lemon zest, lemon juice, light brown sugar, honey, ground cinnamon, and optional ground nutmeg. Stir gently.
- Cover the slow cooker and cook on high for 1 hour. Watch for bubbling and steam indicating that it's cooking perfectly.
- Once the hour is up, carefully remove the lid and transfer the mixture to a blender. Blend until smooth for a creamy consistency.
- Return the blended mixture to the slow cooker, propping the lid with a wooden spoon to let excess liquid evaporate. Cook on low for 4-5 hours until thickened.
- When thickened, ladle the warm blueberry butter into sterilized glass jars. Seal tightly while still warm for freshness.
