Blueberry jam

blueberries

granulated sugar

vanilla pod

lemon

Put a plate in the freezer for you to test your jam is set later. <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/howto/guide/how-sterilise-jars">Sterilise</a>&nbsp;two 500ml jam jars so they are&nbsp;ready to use.&nbsp;

Put the blueberries, sugar, vanilla and lemon in&nbsp;a large heavy-based <a href="https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/content/five-best-saucepans">saucepan</a> over a medium heat. Crush the blueberries a little with a potato masher. Bring to the boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 30 mins. Skim off any skum that has formed on the top with a spoon and discard.&nbsp;

Test the jam is set by spooning a mound on to your cooled plate. Put in to the fridge for 3 mins. If the jam forms a skin and ripples when you push it with your finger,&nbsp;it&#39;s ready. If not,&nbsp;return to the heat for 5 more mins then repeat the test. Do this until you reach setting point.&nbsp;

Leave the jam to sit for 10 mins off the heat. Ladle into your warm, sterilised jars and seal the lids on top. Leave to cool completely. Will keep for six&nbsp;months unopened in a cool, dry place,&nbsp;or two&nbsp;weeks once opened in the fridge.

Learn how to make this easy blueberry jam with just three ingredients and no pectin! It&#39;s boiled to the jam setting point to ensure the perfect set.

60 mL fresh lemon juice

Mix the berries with the sugar, lemon juice in a large bowl.

Cover the mixture and let the berries macerate for at least 30 minutes. Stir every so often to help the sugar dissolve. You can also leave them to macerate in the fridge overnight to make jam the next day.

Transfer the macerated fruit and all the juices into a big pot and place the pot with the macerated berries on the stove. Heat on medium, uncovered, stirring every so often.

Once the sugar is completely dissolved, turn off the stove and take the pot off the burner.

Ladle a third of the jam mixture into a blender jar, cover partly, then blend until smooth. Transfer the blended mixture back to the pot.

Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring with a wooden spoon to help distribute the heat.

When the jam comes to a boil, continue cooking it until it hits the jam setting point, around 102-103 °C (215–217 °F).

Take the pot off the stove. Let stand 2 minutes then stir well to distribute the fruit.

Divide the jam among the jars, leaving a 1/4 inch headspace. Remove air bubbles, wipe the rims clean, then cover with the lids, fingertight. If any of the jars aren&#039;t filled full, don&#039;t seal them. Instead you can cover them and enjoy them right away, storing in the fridge.

Seal the closed jars according to the manufacturers recommendations using a water bath canning kit. I used Bernardin jars and I boiled my jam jars for 10 minutes to seal them.

Remove from the canner. Let sit 24 hours undisturbed before storing them in the pantry.

The combination of light, fragrant lemon verbena custard and blueberries makes for a memorable dessert everyone will love.

Blueberry Pepper Jam Recipe made in the Ball Jam Maker.

Blueberry Pepper Jam Recipe

blueberries (about 2 pints)

Tbsp Ball® RealFruit® Classic Pectin

tsp butter

Lime (juiced)

poblano pepper

Wash

Prepare the blueberries by washing them and removing any stems.

Crush

Crush the blueberries by using the bottom of a glass. This works much better then a potato masher for the small berries.

Measure 2 2/3 cups of the crushed blueberries into a bowl and stir in the lime juice.

Chop

Finely chop the poblano pepper and add to the bowl with the blueberries and mix in.

Measure

Add the pectin to the bottom of the Jam Maker with the Stirrer in place. Add the crushed blueberries and lemon juice evenly on top of the pectin.

Drop

Start

Press the jam button on the Jam &amp; Jelly Maker and press enter.

Allow the machine to run for 4 minutes until you hear 4 short beeps

Immediately add the sugar slowly to the Jam Maker.

Cover

Allow the Jam Maker to run for the remaining 18 minutes on the timer undisturbed. Do not lift the lid during cooking time.

Finish

When the Jam Maker beeps again the jam is done.

Uncover

Carefully remove the lid by first lifting the back end that is farthest away from you to allow the release of the built up heat and steam. Warning the glass lid will be hot. Place it on a towel out of the way.

Fill

Fill your jars with the jam leaving a 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the lip of the jar and place a flat lid and screw a band on.

Hot Water Bath

Process the jam in a hot water bath for 20 minutes.

Cool

All the jars to cool for five minutes in the pot. Remove jars and place on a towel. Allow to cool for 24 hours.

Check

Check the lids for a proper seal. Store sealed jars,

You will love this easy recipe for small-batch Blueberry Jam, made without pectin, from ripe, aromatic berries at the height of their season. This is the best way I know to preserve the flavours of summer to enjoy throughout the cooler months ahead. Aside from tasting fantastic, this jam is so easy to make!

Blueberry Jam

600 g (21 oz) blueberries (See Note 1)

450 g (2 cups) sugar (See Note 2)

juice

Choose glass jars with an airtight, metal lid and ensure they have been washed in the dishwasher or by hand in hot soapy water then rinsed well.Preheat the oven to 130 C (265 F). Place upright jars and lids on a baking tray. Heat in the oven for at least 20 minutes, then remove and immediately fill with jam. See Note 5.

To Sterilise the Jars:

Place two small saucers or plates in the freezer. See Note 6.

Wash and thoroughly dry blueberries.Add the blueberries, sugar and lemon juice to a large saucepan and mix well with a long-handled wooden spoon.

Turn the heat on low and stir until the sugar dissolves. (This can take 5-8 minutes)If sugar crystals get caught on the side of the saucepan, scrape down with a spatula.

Once the sugar is dissolved, increase the heat to a rolling boil.Boil for 10 minutes, stirring frequently. After 10 minutes, begin to check for the setting point. Your jam will likely take between 10-15 minutes, but it will depend on the width of your saucepan and how rapidly the jam is boiling.

Turn off heat and spoon a little of the jam onto one of your chilled saucers.Let it stand for 30 seconds to cool, and then run your finger through it. If it wrinkles, even slightly, it is ready. If it is still quite liquid, put it back on the heat and boil for a further 1-2 minutes, and retest until ready. Alternatively, you could use a candy thermometer. Setting point is reached when the thermometer reaches 105 Degrees C (220 F).

Skim any scum off the top of the jam with a spoon.

Allow the jam to sit for 5 minutes to allow the fruit to disperse evenly.

Carefully ladle your jam into your hot jars and put the lids on immediately. Allow the jam to cool completely. Wipe the jars to remove any spills, and store the jam in a cool, dark place.
