Instructions

1. Wash the blueberries thoroughly and place them in a large saucepan.
2. Cook the blueberries over medium heat, mashing them with a wooden spoon to release their juice. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add the chopped Trinidad Scorpion pepper to the blueberries. Cook for about 5 more minutes, stirring to incorporate the pepper.
4. Stir the orange juice, sugar, lemon juice, and white vinegar into the mixture. Mix well until the sugar is completely dissolved.
5. Let the mixture simmer, stirring frequently, for about 20-30 minutes or until the jam thickens. You can test the consistency by placing a small amount of jam on a cold plate; if it gels, it's ready.
6. Add the finely chopped scallions in the last 5 minutes of cooking to retain their flavor and texture.
7. Remove the saucepan from heat and, carefully, blend the hot mixture with an immersion blender until smooth and uniform. If you don’t have an immersion blender, you can transfer the mixture to a blender in batches.
8. Fill sterilized glass jars with the hot jam, leaving a small space at the top. Seal the jars tightly and place them in a pot of boiling water for 10 minutes to ensure a good seal.
9. Allow the jars to cool to room temperature before storing them in a cool, dark place.
