Yield 4 half pint jars

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 1/2 cups fresh blueberries
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup honey
1 tablespoon fresh-squeezed lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon fresh grated orange zest (or 1 tablespoon Grand Marnier)
1 (3 ounce) envelope liquid fruit pectin

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.

CINNAMON BLUEBERRY JAM



Cinnamon Blueberry Jam image

Watching my grandmother can hundreds of jars of tomatoes, peaches and pears inspired me to try making jams and jellies myself. I can remember going down into her cellar as a girl-all those jars on the shelves gave me such a warm, homey feeling! My family enjoys this jam on warm corn muffins, or blueberry. The cinnamon's a bit of a surprise. -Barbara Burns, Phillipsburg, New Jersey

Tips:

  • Choose the right blueberries. Use fresh, ripe blueberries for the best flavor. Avoid blueberries that are bruised or moldy.
  • Prepare the blueberries properly. Wash the blueberries thoroughly before using them. You can also remove the stems if you like.
  • Use a large pot. The jam will expand as it cooks, so it's important to use a large pot that can hold at least 8 cups of liquid.
  • Bring the jam to a boil over high heat. This will help to quickly dissolve the sugar and prevent the jam from crystallizing.
  • Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the jam for 30 minutes. Stir the jam occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Test the jam for doneness. The jam is done when it reaches a temperature of 220°F (105°C) on a candy thermometer or when a small amount of jam placed on a cold plate wrinkles when you push your finger through it.
  • Remove the jam from the heat and let it cool slightly. Stir in the lemon juice and butter before pouring the jam into jars.
  • Seal the jars and process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. This will help to preserve the jam and prevent it from spoiling.

Conclusion:

Citrus-spiced blueberry jam is a delicious and versatile condiment that can be enjoyed on toast, pancakes, waffles, or ice cream. It can also be used as a glaze for chicken or fish, or as a filling for pies and tarts. With its bright citrus flavor and subtle spice, this jam is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
