Method

1
Measure out all ingredients and rinse fresh blueberries thoroughly under cold water, removing any stems or damaged berries. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel and set aside.
3 minutes
2
Combine the blueberries and sugar in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring gently to coat the berries evenly with the sugar.
2 minutes

Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the blueberries begin to release their juices and soften.
5 minutes
4
Add the ground cinnamon and nutmeg to the saucepan, stirring well to incorporate the spices evenly throughout the blueberry mixture.
1 minutes
5
Reduce the heat to medium-low and allow the sauce to simmer, stirring frequently, until it thickens to a deep, jammy consistency and turns a rich, vibrant purple color.
12 minutes
6
Taste the sauce and adjust sweetness or spice levels as desired by adding a small amount of additional sugar, cinnamon, or nutmeg.
2 minutes

Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the sauce to cool slightly for a few minutes before transferring to a serving bowl or storage container.

Serve the sauce warm alongside crackers or your chosen accompaniment, or allow it to cool fully before storing in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for up to one week.
