Canned · Fruit · Honey · Jams · Weight Loss Friendly
Ingredients
- 1 qt blueberries (1 1/2 pounds)*
- 2/3 cup Sue Bee® Clover Honey
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
Directions
- Use a low, wide, non-reactive pan such as stainless steel – mash blueberries.
- Add the honey and lemon juice and stir to combine. Let the mixture sit until the honey begins to dissolve and the mixture stirs easily.
- Bring to a boil. Then reduce heat and cook, stirring regularly, for 10 to 12 minutes, until the jam starts to thicken.
Pour in containers, let it cool and refrigerate.
- Or to make the jam shelf stable, pour it into clean, hot jars. Apply lids and rings and process in a boiling water bath canner for ten minutes.
Notes
*You can use other fruits, but blueberries have a good deal of natural pectin, so you may need to cook other fruits longer in order to achieve a thick consistency.
