Why Make Blueberry Crumb Cake with preserves?

A lot of blueberry coffee cake recipes are made with fresh blueberries, but we prefer to make ours with Bonne Maman Wild Blueberry Preserves. If you’ve never had Bonne Maman, you’re missing out. I’ve been a fan of them since I was old enough to recognize their distinct picnic blanket-stamped lids at the grocery store. I absolutely love that each jar tastes like it came from a local market, and that I can use them on just about everything. And if that isn’t enough, here are few more reasons why we loves these wild blueberry preserves:

• No high fructose corn syrup
• No artificial colors
• No preservatives
• NON- GMO
• Made with fresh, premium, simple ingredients

In other words, these Wild Blueberry Preserves might as well be homemade from your Grandmother’s cupboard.

The best part? There are whole blueberries in these preserves, meaning you still get that beautiful blueberry texture in your crumb cake without having to make a trip to the store. This way you can experience all those yummy fresh Spring flavors straight from your cupboard!

Tips for Making Blueberry Coffee Cake

• Use high quality ingredients: In simple recipes like this, each ingredient will really make a difference. Now is the time to get the good butter and the Bonne Maman preserves 🙂
• Use room room temperature: Make sure your butter and eggs are at room temperature! This will ensure that everything incorporates together in your batter and prevent any splitting.
• Don’t overmix the batter: Over mixing will cause more gluten to develop! Only mix the batter until it’s just mixed so keep your crumb tender and soft!

How to Store Blueberry Crumb Cake

If you’re doing a lot of baking with not enough stomach space to eat it (SAME), you might be trying to freeze some baked goods for a later date. Luckily this blueberry crumb cake freezes incredibly well! Simply wrap your leftover tightly in plastic wrap and then place in a freezer safe plastic bag. Freeze for up to three months and defrost in the fridge overnight for when you’re ready to eat!
