Huckleberry-Basil Vinaigrette

So this was a solution I came up with for a huckleberry jam that I bought that was insanely sweet. You can substitute any jam for it or fresh/frozen berries if you have them on hand. You'll need a mortar and pestle or a blender. This will give you about 3 salads worth of dressing. It tastes amazing on baby spinach.
The main flavorings in this are the berry, a fresh green herb, and fresh/spicy garlic flavor. So don't use dried herbs or pre-minced garlic. The dried herbs will make the vinaigrette taste flat and the pre-minced garlic will give an oxidized, musky or slightly metallic taste to the vinaigrette. You would be better off finding a vinaigrette recipe including mustard and more ingredients if using those products.

1 T Huckleberry Jam
1 T fresh basil sliced
1 clove garlic minced
Pinch of salt
Pinch of black pepper
2 T olive oil

If you are doing this in a mortar and pestle, mix all ingredients except for the olive oil and grind until fully incorporated. Add oil and season to taste. If you are doing this in a blender add it all in, blend and season to taste.

Possible variations:
Strawberry/Basil/ Mint Vinaigrette
