Blueberry Jam

Used fresh blueberries, doubled the recipe and ended up with 10 half-pints of delicious jam!! This is a keeper! It will be a staple next to my strawberry jam & apple jelly!

First time jam maker here -- this recipe was very easy to make and tasted awesome. After the jam had set (24 hours), my boyfriend and I cracked open a test jar (these were holiday gifts) to try it out. He spent the next thirty minutes making "jam sandwiches" as he called them. One little tip that I found somewhere else on the web ... let the jam stand for a few minutes in the cooking vessel before putting it in the jars -- the extra time will allow the jam to start to gel slightly and prevent all the fruit from floating to the top of the jars as they gel.

I made this using fresh blueberries, other than that I followed the recipe. Beautiful in the jars. Having never tasted blueberry jam before, I was pleasantly surprised with my results. I got 6 half pints and 1 quarter pint. I expect to be making more of this one. Thanks!

Texas blueberries are in season so I had to try this recipe. I used fresh blueberries and did not make any adjustments to the recipe. The resulting jam is absolutely delicious. Can't wait to try this as a topping for cheesecake! Thanks for sharing this recipe!!

I had a bunch of blueberries that I had an incredible deal on, and I tried this recipe to make jam. I had 36 oz. of blueberries and because many people stated it was a bit sweet, I reduced sugar to 5 cups and upped my pectin to 1/2 cup (I buy it in bulk - so typically I would use 1/3 cup). What a beautiful jam!!! It's definitely the oe I'll use to make blueberry jam from now on.

I really liked the simplicity of this recipe and the flavour is really good. However, it is extremely sweet! I reduced the sugar to four cups and I still found it was too sweet. Is it possible that the amount of berries refers to the volume of crushed berries? I started with four cups fresh wild blueberries and with four cups sugar it was over the top. I'm sure my husband will still eat it all as he has a sweet tooth, but for those who do not, be aware and reduce the sugar even more.

Delicious! used two bags of 16 oz frozen blueberries, and the powdered pectin, and it came out great... 8 half-pint jars, and it already appears to be jellying. We used some on pancakes the same night and it was delicious, even while still warm! would definitely consider making it again.

I just pulled my jars from the water bath. I only had 6 cups of frozen blueberries so I went with 1 1/2 tbsp of lemon juice, 3/4 packet of pectin, and 4 cups of sugar, follwed the instructions as followed and had great results. It wasnt as sweet as I expected, which was a pleasant suprise. I ended up with 3 pints and 6 half pints and still some left to keep for snacking. I will definately make this again, hopefully next year's blueberry season!

Made four batches last year and forgot to rate it! Shame on me. If i could give you 10 stars, i would. Sssooo yummy. Ended up hiding a couple of jars for my DH. Every one kept asking for more...Made a double batch today...(they say it can't be done...yes it can)...Just did 10 cups of sugar, omitting the 1/2 cup. Made exactly 6 pints and one 1/2 pint...plus just enough for me a small lick...:) Thank you so much for the wonderful keeper of a recipe Rita!

Very yummy! I only had the powdered pectic and 1lb of frozen blueberries. It took half of a packet of the pectin for the 1 lb.

I made this today as a first time canner. We used 8 cups of blueberry's about 8 to 9 cups sugar and 3 tablespoons lemon juice and two boxes of pectin. We did everything exactly how it says in the recipe. Turned out fabulous!! I hope we used enough pectin as it has been sitting now for 5 hours and still pretty runny. We water bath canned it for 10 to 15 minutes. I love this recipe. It was easy to follow and not complicated.

I didn't think Blueberies could get any better, but this Jam is spectacular.I envision lots of scones and homemade biscuits in my future. Thanks Rita, another winner!

This was a good jam, but a little too sweet on its own. I agree with KTMay that I may decrease the sugar next time around. I added a little extra lemon juice, but still quite sweet. However, it was delicious on toast!!! I am going to try a recipe I have for jam using splenda. If it works, I will post it on zarr. :-)

This is really, really yummy. It's a little on the sweet side, so I may cut the sugar by 1/4 of a cup. Then again jam IS sweet! Anyway...this will be a part of our Christmas gifts!!!
