Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 qt fresh or frozen (thawed not drained)
2 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
1 box sure-jel or can-jel
4 c sugar

Steps:

  • 1. Wash, drain on paper towels. Remove stems and crush ripe blue berries completely, one layer at a time. I use a food processor.
  • 2. Measure about 4 cups of crushed fruit. Add more berries if necessary.
  • 3. Place berries in a large, heavy kettle and stir in the lemon juice and the Sure or Can-Jel. Stir over high heat until the mixture comes to a hard boil. Immediately add the sugar and stir. Bring back to a full rolling boil; boil hard for 1 min, stirring constant.
  • 4. Remove from heat; skimming off foam with metal spoon. Ladle into sterilized jars leaving 1/2" head space. Seal and process in hot bath for 20 mins. covered.
