Bluberry Lemon Freezer Jam Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, slightly crush 2 cups of blueberries. Add remaining berries and sugar, mix well. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat; stir in gelatin until dissolved. Pour hot jam into jars or containers. Cover and cool. Refrigerate.

Steps:

• 1. In a dutch oven combine all ingredients except sugar Bring to a full rolling boil over high heat
• 2. stir in sugar and return to a full rolling boil. Boil one minute stirring constantly.
• 3. Remove from heat and skim off foam. Ladle in to freezer containers and cool to room temperature
• 4. Refrigerate up to 3 weeks or freeze up to 12 months.

Steps:

• Prepare jars and lids according to manufacturer's instructions.
• Combine blueberries, sugar, lemon peel, and lemon juice in a large saucepot.
• Bring to a rolling boil over high heat; stir frequently.
• Stir in pectin.
• Boil hard for 1 minute.
• Remove from heat and skim foam (if necessary).
• Immediately ladle into hot jars, leaving a 1/4 inch headspace.
• Cap and process for 15 minutes in a boiling water canner.

Steps:

• Mix blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and cinnamon in a saucepan; cook, stirring constantly, over medium heat until thickened, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Place a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet or line it with a clean towel. Set aside. Place several small plates in the freezer to use later to test the consistency of the jam.
• Combine the blueberries, sugar, lemon juice and salt in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan. Let stand until the berries start rendering their juice, about 15 minutes.
• Bring the blueberry mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. The mixture will bubble up, rising high up the sides of the saucepan. Using a slotted spoon, skim off any light-colored foam as it collects on the edges. Cook the jam until it reaches the jelling point, 220 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, 30 to 45 minutes. (If you don't have a thermometer, you can also dribble a few drops of the jam on a frozen plate. If it crinkles when you run a finger through it and your finger leaves a clear line in the jam, it's ready. If not, check it every 5 minutes or so.)
• While the jam is cooking, place the canning rack in the canner and fill the pot with water; bring to a boil over high heat. When the jam reaches the jelling point (220 degrees F) add the reserved lemon zest and stir to combine.
• Place eight clean 1/2-pint jars (see Cook's Notes) on the prepared baking sheet. (This will help contain any dribbles or spills and prevent the jars from directly touching the metal.) For each jar, insert a canning funnel and carefully ladle in the jam, allowing at least 1/4 inch of headroom. Clean the rims of the jars with a clean, damp towel and tightly secure the lids.
• Using tongs, place the jars on the rack in the canner. The water should cover the jars by at least 1 inch. Cover the canner. Return the water to a boil and boil gently for 15 minutes. Using tongs, transfer the jars to a towel to cool. If the seal works and fits properly, the metal lid will be slightly concave within 24 hours of processing. Store the unopened jars of jam at room temperature for up to 1 year. Once the jam is opened, store in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Wash and rinse containers (make sure they are sterile).
• Prepare the berries crushing one cup at a time using a potato masher.
• Measure exact amount of berries and juice and place in a large bowl.
• Measure the exact amount of sugar (no sugar substitutes) and stir into the prepared fruit; mix well and let stand for 10 minutes stirring occasionally.
• While waiting, in a small bowl, stir the Certo fruit pectin into the lemon juice.
• After the 10 minutes has gone by with the berries, stir the pectin mixture into the prepared fruit.
• Stir constantly until sugar is completely dissolved and no longer grainy--about 4 minutes (a few sugar crystals may remain--it's O.K.).
• Pour into prepared containers, leaving a 1/2" space at the top for expansion during the freezing; cover.
• Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours till set.
• You may store in the refrigerator for about 3 weeks or store in the freezer for up to one year; thaw in the refrigerator.
