Steps:
- Wash and clean blueberries.
- Crush with a masher.
- Place in a deep saucepan and gently cook for 10 minutes or till the juice flows.
- Strain through a jelly bag to capture the juice.

- Skim off foam and pour into hot, sterile jelly jars and seal.
Tips:

- Stir the mixture constantly while it is boiling. This will help to prevent the jelly from scorching.
- Pour the jelly into clean, sterilized jars. This will help to prevent the jelly from spoiling.
- Process the jars in a boiling water bath for the recommended amount of time. This will help to seal the jars and prevent spoilage.
- Store the jelly in a cool, dark place. Jelly can be stored for up to a year unopened.
