How to make this Blueberry Jam recipe

First, you want to wash the berries (defrost and rinse if using frozen) then place them in a shallow pan.

Use a potato masher to crush berries. The consistency will depend on how chunky you like your jam. I don't mind chunks, but my kids do!  I ended up having to use a fork to get them all crushed.

Add the mashed berries to a saucepan, then add the sugar. Mix well and bring to a boil to thicken. Boil for about a minute.

Pull the jam off the heat and stir in pectin. Mix well.

Let jam cool a little bit then scoop the jam into small freezer-safe jars. I used three 12oz jars.

Let the jam sit for 30 minutes, before putting lids on. Then make sure the lids are tight and store in your freezer until you’re ready to use.

I  take out one at a time to keep in the fridge.

Store in freezer for up to 1 year, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

This recipe makes approximately three 12 oz. jars.
