Blueberry Pie Fudge

All your favorite flavors in one perfect square? Blueberry Pie Fudge is almost too good to be true, but the taste is real. Sweet-tart blueberry jam complements the creamy white chocolate – with vanilla wafer cookies for a little buttery texture. If you love a chocolate-citrus pairing, just add finely grated orange, lemon or lime zest to get the extra kick you crave. Blueberry Pie Fudge also makes a great gift, so don’t hesitate to double the batch and share the love!

Ingredients

Homemade Blueberry Jam

  • 6 1/2 cups fresh blueberries, coarsely chopped (about 5 pints)
  • 1 package granulated fruit pectin for lower-sugar recipes

  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 4 tablespoons Homemade Blueberry Jam

Preparation

Instructions

  1. In a large saucepan, combine blueberries and 1/2 cup water. In a small bowl, stir together pectin and 1/4 cup of the sugar; stir into blueberry mixture. Bring to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
