| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a heavy saucepan, combine the fresh blueberries, 1/2 cup of water, and the fresh lemon juice. |
| 2 | Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer gently for about 8 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning. |
| 3 | While the blueberry mixture is simmering, soak the gelatin in the remaining 1/4 cup of cold water, allowing it to bloom. |
| 4 | After 8 minutes, remove the blueberry mixture from the heat and add the soaked gelatin and desired amount of sugar substitute. Stir well until the gelatin and sweetener are completely dissolved. |
| 5 | Carefully pour the blueberry spread into small, hot jars, leaving a little space at the top. Cover the jars lightly and allow them to cool to room temperature. |
| 6 | Once cooled, cover the jars tightly and store the Blueberry Spread in the refrigerator for up to two weeks. |
