Wild Blueberry Jam
Ingredients
- 2 pound wild blueberries, washed and drained
- 4 to 5 lemons - juice and pulp (about 1 cup)
- 1 cup water
- 3-1/2 to 4 cups sugar
Instructions
Yield: 6 half pints. Combine water & berries in a large pan. Bring to a boil - mash some of the berries. Add sugar and lemon juice/pulp. Boil until jelling point is reached (I use the saucer in the freezer test). Ladle into hot, sterilized jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Adjust 2 piece lids and process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes. Notes: I had hoped for more of a lemon flavor so next time I will use the zest of the lemons. Also, I am at 2000 feet above sea level so the processing time may need to be adjusted for your altitude.
