Blueberry Jam
- 5 cups crushed fresh ripe blueberries
- 2 tablespoons strained fresh lemon juice
- 7 cups sugar
- 12 teaspoon unsalted butter
- 2 (3 ounce) packages liquid pectin
- 14 teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
- In an 8-quart pan, add the blueberries, lemon juice, sugar, and butter; combine.
- Over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, heat the mixture until the sugar is completely dissolved; increase heat to medium-high and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly.
- Stir in the pectin; return mixture to a full rolling boil, stirring constantly.
- Boil, stirring constantly, for 1 minute; remove the pan from heat; skim off any foam; stir in the cinnamon, if desired.
- To prevent the jam from separating in the jars, let jam cool for 5 minutes before filling the jars.
- Gently stir jam every minute or so to distribute fruit.
- Ladle the hot jam into hot jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
- Wipe the jar rims and threads with a clean, damp cloth; cover with hot lids and apply screw rings.
- Process half-pint jars in a 200 water bath for 10 minutes, pint jars for 15 minutes.
