Ingredients:
2 Cups Blueberries (340g)
1/4 Cup Water (60ml)
1 Cup Sugar (190g)
Tools:
Glass Mason Jars
Directions:
1. Place berries in a saucepan and mash most of them. Add water and heat over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook stirring occasionally until berries are soft and crushed. Once the jam is cooking at a rolling boil, stir in the sugar. Lower heat to medium-low and continue cooking at a boil stirring constantly. Cook for 20 minutes or until the jam thickens and darkens in color.
2. To test for doneness, place a bit of jam on a chilled plate and freeze for 5 minutes. Gently press the jam, it should wrinkle on top.
3. Fill jars with jam and seal them.
| Makes about 10oz. of Jam
How to Sterilize and Seal Jars:
1. Place the lids of washed jars in hot water(not boiling). Place the jars in a pot of boiling water and boil for 5 minutes. Remove jars and lids from water and place on a clean cloth to dry.
2. Once the jars have been filled with jam, close with the lids tightly, and place into boiling water. Boil for 10 minutes.
*Sealed jars can be stored at room temperature. If opened or not sealed, jams should be stored in the refrigerator.

Can you use frozen blueberries?
Why boil jam once the jar is filled?
this seems like a great recipe thanks. i certainly am trying it out for my preserving food project.
I've been trying to make Blueberry jam for a few days now, and followed a few different recipes online. All of them basically had the blueberries on the stove top for not longer than 10 minutes tops, and all my jams came out water/liquidy. This is the first time I've seen someone say cook for 25 to 30 mins and it makes so much more sense now.
yup…I'm always right from the start.
Awesome and looks easy to make, thanks for sharing
Sweet recipe however sugar is NOT my friend, maple syrup sub?
So for starters you want to add sugar from the beginning and lemon juice. Then make sure the water is over the lid by at least an inch. Your jar did not seal and your video shows it. The lid should be much more difficult to open if sealed properly.
After opening, how long is this good for if kept in fridge?
Thank you so much for sharing, this recipe is so simple and the result is amazing! I also just want to say that you have an extraordinary channel; you're extremely underrated. I wish you much love and success! Thank you for sharing your creative ideas and recipes!
Love short videos and to the point. Exactly what I needed, thank you for taking the time to make this video and teach us 🥰
Why is the water canning necessary?
This is such a perfect video. Well done on all levels. Bravo. 🏆
Wow, so simple, definitely doing it now
no instructions of recipe.
I didn't water can mine since it will self seal and I will be putting it in the frig. I added lemon zest and 1 TB of fresh lemon juice, cinnamon, clove powder and nutmeg and also a few fennel seeds. It was delightful! If it was for LT, then water canning is a must. Great video!! 👍
I appreciate the straight to the point recipe tyty and for that I’m subscribing
May I ask how long does this keep? 3 days perhaps?
nice
I only melted blue berry’s and it was jam
Txs I will make this at home. Blueberries are healthy and good.
Why do jars need to go in Boiling water?
