Ingredients
- 1 quart blueberries approximately 1 1/2 pounds
- 2/3 cup honey
- 1/2 lemon juiced
Instructions
- Pour the berries into a low, wide, non-reactive pan and mash.
- Add the honey and lemon juice and stir to combine. Let the mixture sit until the honey begins to dissolve.
- Place the pan on the stove and bring to a boil. Cook, stirring regularly, for 10 to 12 minutes, until the jam thickens.
- To make the jam shelf stable, pour it into clean, hot jars. Apply lids and rings and process in a boiling water bath canner for ten minutes.
- When time is up, remove jars from the canner and place them on a folded kitchen towel and let them cool.
- When the jars are room temperature, check the seals. If the lids have gone concave and don't wiggle at all, they are sealed.
- Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and used within a few weeks.
- If you don't want to process the jam, just pour it into a jar, let it cool, and put it in the refrigerator.
