->Blueberry Jam 03 <-

Yield: 6 half pints

2 pounds wild blueberries, washed and drained

4 to 5 lemons - juice and pulp (about 1 cup)

1 cup water

3-1/2 to 4 cups sugar

Combine water & berries in a large pan. Bring to a boil - mash

some of the berries. Add sugar and lemon juice/pulp. Boil until

jelling point is reached (I use the saucer in the freezer test).

Ladle into hot, sterilized jars leaving 1/2 inch headspace. Adjust

2 piece lids and process in a boiling water bath for 15 minutes.

Notes: I had hoped for more of a lemon flavor so next time I will

use the zest of the lemons. Also, I am at 2000 feet above sea level so the processing time may need to be adjusted for your

altitude.
