Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 quart blueberries (approximately 1 1/2 pounds)
  • 2/3 cup honey
  • 1/2 lemon (juiced)

Instruction

  • Pour the berries into a low, wide, non-reactive pan and mash.
  • Add the honey and lemon juice and stir to combine. Let the mixture sit until the honey begins to dissolve.
  • Place the pan on the stove and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring regularly, for 10 to 12 minutes, until the jam thickens.
  • To make the jam shelf stable, pour it into clean, hot jars. Apply lids and rings and process in a boiling water bath canner for ten minutes.
  • When time is up, remove jars from the canner and place them on a folded kitchen towel and let them cool.
  • When the jars are room temperature, check the seals. If the lids have gone concave and don't wiggle at all, they are sealed.
  • Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and used within a few weeks.
  • If you don't want to process the jam, just pour it into a jar, let it cool, and put it in the refrigerator.
