Instructions
Step 1
Mash blueberries and half the jam in a bowl; set aside. Whisk flour, baking powder, cinnamon, ½ tsp. salt, and nutmeg in a bowl; set aside. Combine sugar, butter, and 2 tsp. vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment; beat until smooth. Add reserved blueberry mixture, milk, and egg; beat until combined. With the motor running, slowly add dry ingredients and mix until a soft, sticky dough forms.
Step 2
Heat 2" oil in a 6-qt. saucepan until a deep-fry thermometer reads 370°. Using lightly oiled hands, roll about ¼ cup batter into a loose, sticky ball; pat gently into a disk. With your thumb, make a 1½" hole in the center of dough; carefully slide into oil and fry, flipping once, until puffed and golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to a baking sheet with a wire rack; repeat with remaining dough and let donuts cool completely.
Step 3
Whisk remaining jam, salt, and vanilla, plus confectioners' sugar, and ⅓ cup hot water in a bowl until smooth. Dip donuts completely in glaze and return to rack until glaze is set.
