Summer doesn't feel complete without at least one berry-picking trip and a batch of homemade blueberry jam. Eat atop fresh scones or biscuits for maximum enjoyment!
Ingreadient
- 8 cups fresh blueberries
- 6 cups sugar
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 2 teaspoons grated lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 pouches (3 ounces each) liquid fruit pectin
Direction
- Place blueberries in a food processor; cover and pulse until almost fully blended. Transfer to a stockpot. Stir in the sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon, lemon zest and nutmeg. Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly. Stir in pectin. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
