Ingredients

Blackberry Jam

  • 1/2 lb fresh or frozen blackberries
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon brandy (optional)

Blue Cheese Mayo

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Blue Cheese Burger

  • 1 lb ground chuck
  • 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
  • 2 medium cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Toasted burger buns and arugula for serving

Instructions

Blackberry Jam

  • Combine jam ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, using a wooden spoon to smash blackberries. Reduce heat to low and allow blackberries to simmer 25-30 minutes until reduced and jam-like in texture, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove jam from heat, allow to cool, and store in refrigerator up to 2 weeks.

Blue Cheese Mayo

  • In a small bowl, combine all mayo ingredients. Season mayo with salt and pepper to taste and store in refrigerator until ready to use.

Blue Cheese Burgers

  • In a large bowl, combine ground chuck, blue cheese, garlic, mustard, Worcestershire, salt, and pepper. Gently knead until meat is just combined then divide into 4 portions. Form each portion into a burger patty.
  • Preheat an outdoor grill to 400F or if cooking indoors, grease a large cast iron grill pan and heat over medium-high heat. Grill burgers flipping once until burgers reach your desired degree of doneness (see blog post for more info on this)
  • Arrange arugula on bottom half of toasted buns. Top with burger patty, a layer of about 1-2 tablespoons blackberry jam, and a spoonful of blue cheese mayo. Top with top half of buns, serve burgers immediately, and enjoy!

Notes

Storing Instructions
Burgers are best if served immediately after assembly.
