Interesting combination: Blueberry & BASIL ... my taste buds do not detect basil!
Which variety of basil do you use and how do you prepare it to be added?

Thanks for the five stars Monika! We’re glad you enjoyed it. Because we make everything in small batches, not every jar tastes exactly the same, so you may find a slight variation in how much basil you pick up. As for the type and method, that’s a secret for the jam vault :)
