Steps:
- Place blueberries and lemon juice in a heavy-bottomed jam pot and gently bring to a simmer over low heat. Mash the blueberries to help them release their juices.
- Once the blueberries have released their juices, increase heat to medium-high, and add sugar.
- Cook the jam until it reaches gel stage, about 20 minutes. Test for gelling on a plate that's been in the freezer, or use an instant-read thermometer (220 degrees F at sea level).
- Pour finished jam into prepared jars, seal with 2 part lids. Store in the refrigerator or water bath can for a shelf-stable blueberry jam.

Steps:
- Add blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice to a medium saucepan.
- Stirring frequently, cook over medium high heat until blueberry mixture comes to a rolling boil.
- Reduce heat to medium and continue boiling and stirring for 10 minutes.
- Towards the end of the cooking time, use the back of the spoon to gently crush some of the berries.
- At the end of the 10 minutes the blueberry liquid should be slightly thickened. You can also use a thermometer to judge done-ness. When the blueberry mixture reaches 220°F, the jam is done. (I watched the clock, my jam hit 220°F at almost exactly 10 minutes.)
- Transfer the blueberry jam to a storage jar and let come to room temperature.
- Once at room temp, seal jars and store in the refrigerator. The jam might take 24 to 48 hours to fully set up. (But it can be eaten immediately.)
- For best results use in about 10 days. (If sealed properly and unopened, your jam could last anywhere from 1 to 3 months in the fridge.)

Steps:
- Prepare jars and lids according to manufacturer's instructions.
- Combine blueberries, sugar, lemon peel, and lemon juice in a large saucepot.
- Bring to a rolling boil over high heat; stir frequently.
- Stir in pectin.
- Boil hard for 1 minute.
- Remove from heat and skim foam (if necessary).
- Immediately ladle into hot jars, leaving a 1/4 inch headspace.
- Cap and process for 15 minutes in a boiling water canner.
Tips:
- Use ripe blueberries: The riper the blueberries, the more flavorful the jam will be. Look for plump blueberries that are a deep blue color.
- Don't overcook the jam: Blueberry lemon jam should be thick, but not too thick. Overcooking the jam will make it tough and chewy.
- Use a candy thermometer: A candy thermometer is the best way to ensure that the jam is cooked to the right consistency. The jam is ready when it reaches a temperature of 220 degrees Fahrenheit (105 degrees Celsius).
- Let the jam cool completely before storing it: This will help the jam to set properly.
Conclusion:
Blueberry lemon jam is a delicious and versatile homemade jam that can be enjoyed on toast, biscuits, pancakes, or waffles. It can also be used as a filling for pies and tarts or as a topping for ice cream or yogurt. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make your own delicious batch of blueberry lemon jam at home.
