YUMMY BLUEBERRY FREEZER JAM

I found this recipe In a magazine. This summer during blueberry season. I made this with some of the ones we bought before freezing the rest of them. It is sweet but so good, on toast, bread, rolls, pancakes or just a spoon! My camera is on it's last leg so the picture doesn't do it justice. It is so easy and quick to make.

BLUEBERRY FREEZER JAM



Blueberry Freezer Jam image

The freezer jams are so good as they taste like the fresh fruit because they have never been cooked. This is a yummy jam and needs to be tried. To get the best taste you need to use the wild blueberries. Once I used the big cultivated ones in the store because it was winter and I needed to make some. There was hardly any flavor except it was sweet. The wild blueberries are are so tasty. NOTE: Do not reduce the sugar or use a sugar substitute as it will not set correctly.

Time 25m

Yield 5 cups

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pints wild blueberries (to make 2 cups of crushed berries)
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
4 cups sugar
1 (3 ounce) envelope fruit pectin (Certo brand)

Steps:

  • Wash and rinse containers (make sure they are sterile).
  • Prepare the berries crushing one cup at a time using a potato masher.
  • Measure exact amount of berries and juice and place in a large bowl.
  • Measure the exact amount of sugar (no sugar substitutes) and stir into the prepared fruit; mix well and let stand for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
  • While waiting, in a small bowl, stir the Certo fruit pectin into the lemon juice.
  • After the 10 minutes has gone by with the berries, stir the pectin mixture into the prepared fruit.
  • Stir constantly until sugar is completely dissolved and no longer grainy--about 4 minutes (a few sugar crystals may remain--it's O.K.).
  • Pour into prepared containers, leaving a 1/2" space at the top for expansion during the freezing; cover.
  • Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours till set.
  • You may store in the refrigerator for about 3 weeks or store in the freezer for up to one year; thaw in the refrigerator.

Tips:

  • Make sure your blueberries are ripe and fresh. This will ensure the best flavor and texture for your jam.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the blueberries by hand. However, this will take a bit more time and effort.
  • You can use any type of sweetener you like in this recipe. Sugar is the traditional choice, but you can also use honey, agave nectar, or maple syrup.
  • If you want a thicker jam, you can add a packet of powdered pectin to the mixture. This will help the jam to set more firmly.
  • Be sure to sterilize your jars and lids before filling them with jam. This will help to prevent spoilage.

Conclusion:

This blueberry freezer jam is a delicious and easy way to preserve your summer blueberries. It's perfect for spreading on toast, muffins, or ice cream.
