    Here is another canning recipe to add to your repitoire.

    Its always good to have a few of these things on hand.

    It is best to use fresh blueberries.

    SHHHH!

    Don't tell anyone, but I used frozen blueberries

    I got them last season and I am just now making jam.

    I know, I know I am a procrastinator!

    When I picked these, things were a bit hectic, so I put them in the freezer.

    I then did what I normally do, promptly forgot about them

    Until now.

    So enjoy these yummy blueberries with your toast or biscuit.

    Blueberry Jam

    Directions

    In a large pot combine blueberries sugar and lemon juice. Mix well

    Cook over high heat stiring constantly until until mixture comes to a complete boil. Allow to boil for one minute. Remove from heat and stir in the fruit pectin

    Transfer to hot sterile jars.

    Make sure you leave 1/4 to 1/2 inch head space, and seal. Make sure you wipe the top of the jar with a wet towel to insure a secure seal.

    Process in a water.

    For about 10 minutes.

    If the jam is going to be eaten right away, don't bother with processing, and just refrigerate.

    Peace be with you,

    Veronica

      I think I used the powdered. If you use the gel just follow the directions.

        Is it the powder pectin or the gel pectin?
