BLUEBERRY-LIME JAM



Blueberry-Lime Jam image

There is a wonderful chain of shops in France, La Chambre Aux Confitures, that is well known for their unique flavor combinations, like peach-lemongrass, strawberry-verbena, and raspberry-geranium, just to name a few. I was inspired by this shop to blend sweet blueberries and tart lime for a new twist on classic blueberry jam.

Categories     condiment

Time 2h30m

Yield about 2 1/2 cups of jam

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pounds blueberries, stems discarded
1 cup sugar
4 teaspoons grated lime zest, plus 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 to 3 limes)
Pinch of salt

Steps:

  • Combine the blueberries, sugar, lime zest, 3 tablespoons lime juice and the salt in a medium saucepan or Dutch oven. Toss well and let stand until the sugar dissolves and the blueberries begin to release their juices, about 15 minutes.
  • Bring the mixture to a rapid simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to maintain a low simmer; cook, stirring often and skimming off any foam, until the blueberries are tender and the juices thicken, about 35 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice. Remove from the heat and let the jam cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.
  • Transfer the jam to a jar or other airtight container. Refrigerate until cold and fully jelled, 3 to 4 hours. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

BLUEBERRY JAM WITH LIME



Blueberry Jam With Lime image

The flavor of blueberries resides almost completely in the purple skins, full of compounds called terpenes. The skins have piney, citrusy qualities, but those flavors cook off quickly, which is why blueberry pies and jams so often taste of sweet and nothing else. Adding lime juice and zest after cooking brings back the sweet-tart balance of the berries.

Time 2h

Yield 2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 pounds blueberries, stemmed and rinsed
3 cups sugar
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
1 3-inch cinnamon stick
Juice and zest of 1 lime

Steps:

  • Prepare four 1/2-pint jars: Wash jars, lids and rings in hot, soapy water and rinse well. Place jars in a 200-degree oven until needed. Put lids in a pan of boiling water, and cover until needed.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot or canning bath. (Or put down a layer of lid rings.) Add enough water to cover jars by 2 to 3 inches (do not put jars in yet) and bring to a boil, then reduce heat. The water will need to be at about 180 degrees - a whispering boil - when jars are added for processing. Place two small saucers in freezer.
  • In a large saucepan, gently heat berries with 1/2 cup water until they burst their skins. Remove pan from heat, let cool slightly, and run berries through the coarse blade of a food mill.
  • Return purée to pan. Add sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon stick. Cook at a full boil, stirring constantly, until a gel set is achieved, 8 to 10 minutes; mixture will look jammy. To test, drop a teaspoon of the mixture onto a chilled saucer. Put in freezer for 1 minute. Push your finger through jam. If surface wrinkles, it is ready. (If not, cook a few minutes more and repeat with second saucer.) Discard cinnamon stick. Stir in lime juice and zest.
  • Ladle hot jam into jars, leaving 1/4-inch head space to allow contents to expand. Run a skewer or other thin tool around the jars' inside edges to release bubbles or air pockets. Wipe rims clean with a damp paper towel, put flat lids in place, and screw on rings just until tight.
  • Using a jar lifter or tongs, lower sealed jars into water bath. Cover and rapidly bring water to a full rolling boil. Once water is boiling, boil jars for 10 more minutes.
  • Turn off heat and remove jars from water bath. Place on a cutting board or folded dish towel and leave overnight.
  • The next morning, verify that jars have sealed. Remove ring and press on center of lid. If the lid moves, or if the "button" in the center flexes, the seal has failed to set. The jam is still safe to eat, but it is not suitable for shelf storage; put it in the refrigerator and use it first. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Refrigerate after opening. Info Box

BLUEBERRY CHERRY LIME JAM (BREAD MACHINE)



Blueberry Cherry Lime Jam (Bread Machine) image

What do you do with a boring day, 3 partial pints of blueberries, and too many cherries? You make jam! It started as most of my recipes do, with a whim. I realized I didn't have enough blueberries for blueberry jam. I had raspberries and blackberries, but I didn't want to put berries that would hide the blueberry taste. Ah HA! I had cherries! I hate pitting cherries, but for this recipe it's worth it. If you don't have a bread machine, no worries! Just use the timing found in other jam recipes that call for pectin.

Time 1h40m

Yield 4 1/2 cups, 46 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 cups blueberries
2 cups bing cherries, pitted
1 1/3 cups sugar
1/4 cup fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon lime zest
3 ounces liquid pectin

Steps:

  • Wash your berries and pit your cherries! Hey, that rhymes!
  • I use organic dried cane sugar or sucanat for my sweetener, but regular sugar will do fine too.
  • Wash your lime and roll it under your hand on the counter top to help it release more juice. You can also put it in the microwave for about 30 seconds or so, then roll it.
  • Juice the lime. Sure you can use juice from a bottle, but fresh makes a difference. Plus you get real lime zest. Lime zest is hard to find in the spice section, at least around here.
  • Zest the lime until you get at least a teaspoon. I also added a few thin strips of lime peel (try not to get much pith -the white part-) because I love candied citrus peel.
  • Put into your pan in order, sugar, pectin, berries, then lime. The breadmaker commandments say it matters. I didn't do it that way because I am a rebel and it turned out fine.
  • Put your bowl into the breadmaker. Turn it to the jam setting. Let her rip! Check it at about 5 minutes in then maybe 5 minutes later, just to make sure nothing is sticking to the side. Other than that, it's like magic and does it without your input.
  • Go for a run, watch an episode of your favorite TV drama, or chill for about 90 minutes.
  • When your jam is done, open the bread machine and let it cool for quite awhile because hot fruit burns are NASTY!

BLUEBERRY LIME JAM IN BREAD MACHINE



Blueberry Lime Jam in Bread Machine image

Like Blueberries and Lemon, the lime makes this refreshing. When blueberries are on sale, instead of canning only pie filling, why not make some jam? Great for desserts, breads, on top of ice cream!

Provided by Barbara Kavorkian

Categories     Other Breakfast

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/3 c sugar
3 1/2 Tbsp or a (1 3/4 oz) package of dry pectin
1/4 c fresh lime juice
1 tsp grated fresh lime zest
6 c blueberries

Steps:

  • 1. Place all ingredients in medium bowl and stir together. Transfer to a bread machine pan with kneading paddle. Set on Jam cycle and start according to machine.
  • 2. Scrape the sides of pan 5 to 10 minutes into the cycle. Do this about two times to make sure ingredients are blended. Continue 5-6 minutes and select Start/Stop button. Scrap down mixture and hit Bake cycle. Hit start and let it run until display says 0:00. Press Start/Stop.
  • 3. With oven mits, transfer to clean jars using wide mouth funnel or 1/4 c measuring cup. Let cool then cover and refrigerate up to 4-6 weeks or can jars in a water bath and store once cool (overnight).
  • 4. Notes: This will cook approx 5 minutes past what your "bake" cycle is on your machine.
  • 5. For those without booklet or not sure of time, this came from my booklet for my Sunbeam Bread Maker. Select Basic setting. Press the Start, Stop button and allow to mix for 5-6 minutes, scraping down the sides of the pan. Press the Start Stop button again to cancel. Select Bake setting and press Start Stop. I have used Basic on this. Let cycle continue until it signals and displays 0:00, then press Start Stop. Using hot pads, remove the pan and pour jam into containers, cover and refrigerate to set. Makes 3 cups. (I just use my own way of canning with a hot water bath, but if seals are new, you can do it this way and just invert the jars when lids are placed on and screwed on (not super tight).

BLUEBERRY LIME JAM



Blueberry Lime Jam image

I was so excited to try this recipe from my Blue Book and I am so glad I did. I love blueberries and lime but would not have thought to put the two together. Wow, what an incredible combination of flavors. I only did one batch but I must buy some more blueberries and stock up on this jam. ---I remember that my Grammie canned...
