Blueberry Basil Jam Muffins #MuffinMonday

This is the final day of National Blueberry Month so I pulled out a jar of Blueberry Basil Jam and made some muffins!!

It's time for Muffin Monday.......

#MuffinMonday is a group of muffin-loving bakers who get together once a month to bake muffins. You can see all our lovely muffins by following our Pinterest board. Updated links for all of our past events and more information about Muffin Monday, can be found on our home page.

Our son, Tony, makes jam that he sells at local Farmer's Markets using the business name Tony's Sweet Eats.  This results in us having a plethora of jam in our pantry.  He has many delicious and unique flavors and I often use them in cooking or baking.

I have used his Purple Haze (Lavender) jam in ice cream.  I have made Chocolate Raspberry Bars using his Raspberry Mango Jam.  This Candied Jalapeno Cheese Ball was a huge hit.  A peach and nectarine jam was perfect for this Honey Bundt Cake.  His grapefruit jam mixed with some yogurt was the perfect dressing for this Grilled Fruit Salad.

But folks, this Jam Muffin recipe, that I found on Pinterest, makes my heart sing because a half-pint jar is the perfect amount.  I have enough flavors that I can make a different muffin each day for a month.  July is National Blueberry Month so I pulled out the jar of Blueberry Basil and went to town.

You can use any flavor jam that you like for these tender delicious muffins.  They make a perfect breakfast or snack and are easy to make with whatever you happen to have on hand.
