Instructions
Master Blueberry Jam
- In a small bowl, mix pectin with 1 cup of sugar, set aside.
- In a large pot, add frozen blueberries and water. Cook blueberries on medium-high heat until boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent scorching.
- Add remaining cane sugar into pot. Stir to dissolve sugar, and bring pot back to boil.
- Stir pectin sugar mixture into pot and boil for exactly 1 minute. Boiling for longer than a minute will cause the jam to not set properly when cooled.
- Remove blueberry jam from heat and transfer to an airtight container. Let cool to below 40°F, and store chilled until service.
PB&B2 Burger
- Heat flattop grill to medium-high heat.
- In a small mixing bowl, combine kosher salt and ground black pepper. Lightly season one side of each 3 ounce ground beef ball with salt and pepper mix.
- Place the seasoned side of each ground beef ball on the flattop grill.
- Lightly season the other side of each ground beef ball with salt and pepper mix. Cook on flattop grill for 1 minute.
- Press each ground beef ball into a 4-inch thick diameter patty using a metal spatula. Cook for an additional 1 minute.

- Place 1 slice of cheese on each burger patty. After 30 seconds, remove the burger patty with melted cheese from flattop grill.
- Stack two burger patties with cheese on top of one another using a metal spatula.
- While burgers are cooking, brush each side of the opened bun with its hinge attached, on the cut side, with melted butter.
- Place the bun, butter-side down, on the flattop grill. Toast bun for 1-2 minutes, until bun is toasted and golden.
- Remove bun from the flattop grill with a metal spatula and place on a cutting board with the toasted side facing up.

- 1 toasted bun heel
- 2 teaspoons peanut butter spread coast to coast on heel
