Crock-Pot Blueberry Butter

Just 4 ingredients in this easy recipe for Crock-Pot Blueberry Butter. Fresh juicy blueberries, sugar, cinnamon and lemon juice make a delicious spread perfect for your morning toast!

Crock-Pot Blueberry Butter

Slow Cooker Blueberry Butter

This recipe for Crock-Pot Blueberry Butter is an easy and tasty recipe to make. I was given an abundance of fresh blueberries and tried my hand at blueberry butter.  A definite winner in my book and my families. I made fresh hot biscuits and topped it with the blueberry butter and yummy! If you do not have fresh blueberries, you can use frozen blueberries.

This is a great recipe to add to holiday gift giving. A little basket with homemade jelly, jams and butters and add in some homemade biscuits or muffins. I have made this recipe before and had some left in a jar in the refrigerator.   A year later and it was still as good as the first day it was made. Of course, that jar was stuck in the back behind some eggs where no one else could find it. It was my secret stash for those mornings I wanted a little something special on my toast and no one was looking!.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use other types of berries to make this fruit butter?

You may use other types of berries or a combination of berries to make this fruit butter. Keep in mind however that the water content of other types of berries can be much higher and thus you may need to cook the berries much longer for the proper fruit butter texture. As long as you cook the berries on LOW heat and give things a stir every now and again to prevent burning you should be okay.

Can I use bottled lemon juice and skip the fresh lemon zest and juice in this recipe?

Using fresh lemon zest adds a very nice taste profile that pairs perfectly with the blueberries and cinnamon. However you may go ahead and omit the fresh lemon juice and zest and just use bottled lemon juice.

Is this blueberry butter cooked in a Slow Cooker or a Crock-Pot?

Either one. A Crock-Pot is a name brand of a slow cooker made by the Rival company. A slow cooker is a generic term and is made by a bunch of other brands. Basically they are the same exact thing.

Can I omit or reduce the amount of cinnamon in this recipe?

If cinnamon is not your thing feel free to either reduce or even omit the cinnamon from the recipe.

            Other readers have reported using Splenda and Truvia (as well as other sweeteners) and you would just use the cup-for-cup measuring for something like Splenda.

          While the lemon zest adds a different flavor dimension to this recipe it can be omitted. You can use bottled lemon juice in a ratio of 2 tablespoons for each fresh lemon.

      I tried this and it took twice as long to cook. Could that be because I doubled the recipe? It is absolutely delicious but is it supposed to be so gritty? Just a lot of work for so little end result.

      Reply
      • Crock-Pot Ladies says

        July 18, 2022 at 7:45 PM

        If you doubled the recipe the cooking time will be longer. And depending on how juicy your blueberries are will also determine how long it needs to cook. As for grittiness you may want to try pureeing the blueberry butter once more after it is done cooking for a smoother constancy.

            Hi DJ, I looked up the conversion rate for Truvia to sugar and it appears that it measures cup for cup. So you would use the same amount of Truvia as sugar in this recipe for Blueberry Butter.

        We have a Blueberry Farm where I live in Texas. I love Apple Butter but was asked by the Farm
        Owner of I would make he , his wife and mother some Blueberry Butter. I made several pints for them because he graciously gave me the blueberries abundant to make it and some for myself. It didn’t turn out quiet as I expected and I think it is because I did it stovetop rather than Crockpot. I’m going to do this and share with them and see if it is as his childhood memory remembers. Thank you for sharing the recipe. God Bless

    Wow, I think I’m going to love this recipe. I’ve always loved jam, been making jam for like 50 years . But I am 70 ears old now, and need to eat more healthy. I was told to eat a lot of blueberries, to improve memory. I like how you can make this a jar at a time. In the old days, I used to make two dozen jars of jam at a time. And using a crock pot! Easy, healthy, a win, win.

      You may need to cook it longer. Just keep cooking and giving it a stir every now and then until it thickens. It will thicken a little as it cools too. But if your blueberries are extra juicy it may just take longer to cook out the excess liquid.

    Hi! I’m excited to try this recipe, however, can you use dehydrated blueberries? I currently have a qrt baggy frozen, an 18 oz of fresh and a couple cups of dehydrated blueberries. Can they be combined and if so, how should I go about that?

    Reply
    • Crock-Pot Ladies says

      May 21, 2020 at 6:41 PM

      Hey Lori, I am really not sure if you can use a combination of dehydrated blueberries and fresh blueberries. If I were to test it out I would just add the dried berries and fresh berries and turn on the slow cooker and let the fresh blueberries release their juices which should re-hyrate the dried blueberries. If after a few hours it looks like the dried berries are still kind of dry you could always add some water and let them cook longer until you can puree the berries.

      Of course keep in mind this is just a suggestion on how I would personally go about it to see if it would work. It may not. But I don’t think whatever you would end up with would be too gross to eat.

      Good luck and let me know how it turns out for you if you try it!

    I tried this recipe and it took a long time to thicken. In the recipe it says to put ingredients in a slow cooker. I kept thinking it would have cooked faster in a crockpot. I reread the recipe to make sure I read it right and I did. It said slow cooker. I pulled up the recipe again today and see that it is called CROCKPOT blueberry butter. Soooo is it to be made in crockpot? Also calls for 2 teaspoons of cinnamon which I thought was a lot for the amount of mixture and I love cinnamon. Regardless of all this I do like it. Very tangy but good. Can’t wait to try on a piece of toast. I would definitely use less cinnamon next time. Thanks for a great recipe

      Hi Kim, thanks for the great question. This recipe is what is called a fruit butter (like the more commonly known apple butter) which is just cooked down and seasoned fruit that does not have any added pectin like you would find in a jam or jelly recipe. Hope that helps!

    Looking forward to trying this recipe. Should the pulp be strained out of the puree before added to the slow cooker?

      Hi Jo Ann, you don’t need to strain the pulp out of the pureed blueberries as the pulp is what is going to give this blueberry butter some body and make it spreadable once it is reduced by cooking.

    Can I use grapes to make this if so do I need to change anything besides the fruit? Can I use other fruits and if so do I need to change anything besides the fruit? If I use other fruits do I just follow this recipe and change the fruit or do I have to add more fruit or other ingredients depending on what I use?

      Hi Stacy, I have never used grapes for making fruit butter. But I think it might work. You may need to cook it a lot longer since grapes are usually much more juicer than blueberries are.

    How long do I keep the lid propped up?

      Hi Crystal, you will keep the lid propped up until the blueberry butter is thickened and mounds up on a spoon a little without easily dripping off the spoon. The exact time will vary depending on how juicy your berries were and how hot your slow cooker runs.

    Hi! Thanks for all the awesome recipes! I would like to try the blueberry butter – but all I have is an appliance of the InstaPot variety. It does have a slow cooker setting – but I’m not sure I would be able to prop the lid open as is instructed. Has anyone tried this in an InstaPot? Or should I just use a pot on the stove and cook it on the lowest setting? Thanks so much!

      We have not tested this recipe in an InstaPot but if your InstaPot will cook on the slow cooker function with the lid ajar that is what I would try. Otherwise, cooking it low and slow in a pan on the stove-top will work great too. You just will need to watch it a little closer to prevent it from sticking and burning.

      Hi Carrie-Ann, If you want to store the blueberry butter in the refrigerator or freezer it should be okay to use a sugar substitute. But if you plan on canning the fruit butter sugar is recommended.

    I made it using Monk Fruit for the sugar and it was fabulous. I also processed it whole in the crock pot like I do for making apple butter, and pureed in the morning. I have people at work wanting me to make it for them.
