2 cups
prepared fruit (buy about 2 pt. fully ripe blueberries)
4 cups
sugar, measured into separate bowl
1 pouch
2 tbsp
fresh lemon juice
Instructions
Step 1
Rinse clean plastic containers and lids with boiling water. Dry thoroughly.
Step 2
Stem and crush blueberries thoroughly, one layer at a time. Measure exactly 2 cups prepared fruit into large bowl. Stir in sugar. Let stand 10 min., stirring occasionally.
Step 3
Mix pectin and lemon juice in small bowl. Add to prepared fruit mixture in large bowl; stir 3 min. or until most of the sugar is dissolved and no longer grainy. (A few sugar crystals may remain.)
Step 4
Fill all containers immediately to within 1/2 inch of tops. Wipe off top edges of containers; immediately cover with lids. Let stand at room temperature 24 hours. Jam is now ready to use. Store in refrigerator up to 3 weeks or freeze extra containers up to 1 year. If frozen, thaw in refrigerator before using.
