The Best Blueberry Jam From The New England Cookbook by Brooke Dojny From: Paddy.Montreal
This is the best blueberry jam I have ever made and tasted. Makes about 12 (8-ounce) jars
2 quarts wild or cultivated blueberries, rinsed 7 cups sugar 3 tbsp. lemon juice 1/2 tsp. butter 1 cinnamon stick, broken in 2 or 3 pieces 2 3-ounce pouches liquid fruit pectin
Crush the blueberries well and put into a large pot. Add the sugar, lemon juice, butter, and cinnamon stick to the pot. Over high heat, bring the mixture to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly.
Add the pectin, return to a boil, and boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Remove from the heat, discard the cinnamon stick, and ladle into sterilized jars. Seal and process. |
