Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 1/2 c blueberries
5 c sugar (i used 4 cups)
1 box fruit pectin, powdered
1/3 c lime juice
1 Tbsp grated lime peel

Steps:

  • 1. Gather your ingredients.
  • 2. Crush blueberries one layer at a time in a deep saucepot or bowl which ever you prefer. Combine crushed blueberries and classic pectin in a large saucepot Bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
  • 3. Add your sugar, stirring till dissolved. Stir in lime peel and lime juice. Return to a boil. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim foam is necessary. (Be careful with this jam and make sure you have it in a deep saucepot, so that it doesn't splatter on you like it did me. It's hot and sticks to you; no joke. Plus this blueberry jam ain't got nothin' on cherry jam....it will stain your cabinets and anything else it gets on.)
  • 4. Ladle hot jam into your hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe of the top of your jars with a hot wet towel and place the lids and top and tighten. Process 15 minutes in a boiling water bath.
