Key element — cool the sauce before the top

Instructions

| 3 | Cook the top. Simmer 1 cup blueberries, water, and sweetener 4–5 minutes until jammy. Cool completely. |
| 4 | Finish. Spoon the cooled sauce over each jar. Top with fresh blueberries and a mint leaf. Chill at least 25 minutes so the layers set. |
