Blueberry Grand Marnier Jam Recipes

Steps:

• Place blueberries in large pot.
• Add water and lemon juice.
• Mash slightly.
• Let stand 10 minutes.
• Add sugar and mix well.
• Place over high heat, being to full rolling boil and boil hard for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• Remove from heat.
• Stir in pectin and liqueur.
• Stir and skim for 5 minutes.

Steps:

• Combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, and zest in a small pot and bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently, for 5 minutes.
• Stir water and cornstarch together in a small bowl and add slurry to the pot. Cook until the mixture thickens, about 30 seconds.
• Remove the pot from the burner and stir in orange liqueur. Pour coulis into a fine-mesh strainer and use the back of a spoon to force the liquid through. Serve hot or cold.

Steps:

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

Steps:

• Wash 4 half-pint jars. Keep hot until needed. Prepare lids as manufacturer directs.
• Combine the blueberries, sugar, honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg and orange zest (add Grand Marnier after the 2 minute boil) in a large, nonaluminum pot. Bring to a full, rolling boil over high heat and boil hard for 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in the Grand Marnier, if using, and pectin. Note: as the heat builds towards a rolling boil, I press the blueberries on the sides of the pot to release the juices.
• For long-term storage at room temperature, ladle hot jam into 1 hot jar at a time, leaving 1/4 inch head space. Wipe jar rim with a clean, damp cloth. Attach lid. Fill and close remaining jars. Process in a boiling-water canner for 10 minutes (for 15 minutes at 1,000 to 6,000 feet; for 20 minutes above 6,000 feet).
• For storage in refrigerator or freezer, place in plastic freezer containers or glass jars, cover with tight-fitting lids and refrigerate or freeze.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees. Put a plate in the freezer. With a potato masher or spoon, crush 1 cup berries in a medium heavy-bottom nonreactive saucepan.
• Add remaining 3 cups berries and 1/2 cup water; bring to a simmer over medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon to break up berries, until berries are soft, about 6 minutes.
• Meanwhile, spread sugar out on a rimmed baking sheet. Heat in oven until warm, about 5 minutes.
• Slowly stir sugar into saucepan; return mixture to a simmer, stirring constantly. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook at a slow boil until thickened, 45 minutes to 1 hour. To test for doneness, drop a small amount of jam onto the chilled plate; it should wrinkle when pressed with your finger.
