very fruity spread with lime and blueberry syrup

Place the hulled blueberries and currants, the grated zest and juice of the organic lime, the syrup, and the vanilla sugar in a large saucepan. Carefully stir in the gelling sugar. Place the pan on the stove and heat the contents. Blend using a hand blender. Boil gently for about 4-5 minutes. Fill hot, rinsed twist-off jars to the brim, place the lids on, and screw on tightly. Turn upside down for about 3 minutes. Optional: If you don’t like the currant seeds in your spread, you can strain the mixture through a sieve after blending (but before bringing to a boil).
