So long as you're not sick of berries yet this summer, I'd head to the market and pick up some of the wild blueberries I've been seeing. Then bring them home and whip up a batch of Blueberry Jam w/Rosemary & Balsamic! [Please forgive the lack of pictures, my camera was probably hidden by boxes] After my favorite recipe from last year, I had to try another sweet and savory fruit jam. While it might not be as good as my tomato jam, it has made for some fantastic dishes in my kitchen.
The first came when brainstorming what to do with scallops from our Fish Share. I warmed some jam a bit on the stove (over low heat) and thinned it with a little water (could use broth) until it reached the desired consistency- not too thin, not too thick ;) Served over simply seared scallops (no butter/wine sauce), you have one tasty dish!
As this savory blueberry would be a fabulous accompaniment to a cheese tray, I also found it to be phenomenal in a grilled cheese made with a combination of cheddar and cave-aged gruyere. Looking at these pictures again makes me want to crack open another jar... hopefully I'll be able to hold off and save what's left for gifts!

YEAH Shannon! To be honest if I were given that constellation of ingredients I'd call you first
Ooo this jam sounds fabulous!! And is also making me want your tomato jam!!
Hmmm to expand on your grilled cheese idea, I think it would even be good on a burger! With cheese of course.
The flavor combination is fabulous and it is absolutely great for savory and sweet dishes.

That jam sounds fabulous! I love weirdo flavor combos like that :) I'd be tempted to turn it into a vinaigrette!
