My starting fourth dimension GIFT FROM THE KITCHEN post service is for Blueberry Jam... a quick as well as slow recipe that uses frozen blueberries (I don't fifty-fifty thaw them first). This jam has a wonderfully fresh taste!!
BLUEBERRY JAM (makes 8 cups of jam)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
7 cups granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon butter
(2) iii ounce pouches of liquid Certo pectin
Prepare your jam jars. Personally, I seat them through the hottest setting on my dishwasher, as well as and then permit them sit/steam inwards in that place piece I brand the jam. For the lids, I wash and rinse them, then permit them sit down inwards a pan of almost boiling water, piece I brand the jam.
We similar a jam that doesn't lead maintain a lot of serious "chunk-age" (as picky-picky married adult man calls it) thus I seat the frozen blueberries inwards the nutrient processor (a few cups at a time) as well as procedure them until they are most the size of rice, thus the concluding jam has the consistency of a fruit spread. If yous similar "chunk-age" inwards your jam, only don't chop the berries thus small.
The recipe calls for 5 cups of chopped berries. I use a regular criterion loving cup as well as pack equally many chopped berries equally I tin inwards it (do that for each of the 5 cups). Place the chopped berries, lemon juice, sugar and butter inwards a large heavy kettle.
Heat on medium, stirring constantly, until the saccharide is dissolved. Increase the estrus to medium high as well as convey it all to a FULL ROLLING BOIL (one that volition non halt boiling when yous stir it).
Remove from estrus (but don't near off the burner) as well as add together BOTH pouches of liquid Certo pectin (make certain yous squelch it all out of the pouch). Put the pan dorsum on the heat and convey the jam dorsum to a FULL ROLLING BOIL FOR ONE MINUTE.
Turn the estrus off as well as skim whatever "foam" that is on happen of the jam (if in that place is any) as well as fill upwardly HOT jars, leaving 1/4" of caput space. Wipe rims of drinking glass jars alongside clean, moisture towel. Put on the 2 slice lids as well as tighten.
Process inwards hot H2O bath: Pints for xv minutes or one-half pints for 10 minutes.
NOTE: If yous create upwardly one's heed to thaw the berries (I never do)make certain yous practise non rinse them or drain them (you volition desire to include whatever berry juice that results from thawing.
NOTE: I can't say yous precisely how many pounds of frozen blueberries makes 5 cups of chopped berries. I'm guessing that I used most 1½ or 2 pounds?
NOTE: This recipe uses LIQUID pectin, I lead maintain never made this alongside powdered pectin. Certo is made past times Sure Jell as well as in that place are 2 iii ounce pouches of liquid pectin inwards each box.
Right later yous lead maintain the jam off of the estrus for the in conclusion time, permit it stay inwards the hot pan for FIVE MINUTES; gently stir (with a sterile spoon) every lx seconds. It actually does eliminate problems alongside floating fruit).
