Ingredients
- 2 cups blueberries 500 ml
- 1/3 cup fruit juice 180 ml, or water
- 3 tsp lemon juice 15 ml, fresh or bottled
- 1.5 Tbsp low sugar pectin 22 gr
- 0-1/2 cup sugar 113 gr
Instructions
- Prepare water bath canner. Wash jars and lids thoroughly in hot, soapy water and rinse well. Add jars to canner and cover with water 1 inch above the jars. Let jars sit in hot water until ready to use.
- Pour boiling water over lids and let sit in hot water until ready for use.
- Combine the fruit, juice or water and lemon juice in a large saucepan. Gradually stir in pectin. Bring mixture to a full rolling boil (one that can't be stirred down.), stirring constantly.
- Add sugar, if using. (see notes below) Return mixture to a full rolling boil that cannot be stirred down. Boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat. Skim foam, if necessary.
- Ladle hot jam into hot jars. Cool to room temperature, if not canning. Then refrigerate immediately.
- If preserving, ladle hot jam into the hot jars, leaving 1/4" headspace. Wipe rims clean with paper towel.. Center lids on jars. Apply bands and adjust to fingertip tight.
- Place filled jars in canner ensuring jars are covered by over 1" water. Bring to a gentle, steady boil.
- Process jars for 5 minutes, under 1000 feet, adjusting for altitude. (see notes below) Turn off heat. Let jars rest in hot water for 5 minutes.
- Remove jars and cool. Check lids for seal after 24 hours. Lid should not flex up and down in the center, when pressed. Store jars in a cool place.

Notes
- Makes 2 half pints. If you use less sugar, the yield will be less.
- Recipe can be multiplied, but don't do more than 5 times the recipe. The jam has a tendency not to set properly.
- Test lids for seal. Pres center of lid down in the middle. If it flexes up and down, jar is not sealed.
- Store in a cool place.
- If lids have not sealed, store those jars in refrigerator and consume those jars first.
- Use up to 1/2 cup sugar. I usually use over 1/4 cup but under 1/2 cup of sugar.
- Altitude adjustment for half pints
- 0-1000 feet – 5 minutes
- 1000-3000 feet – 10 minutes
- 3000-6000 feet – 15 minutes
- above 6000 feet – 20 minutes
