Recipe Summary

Yield: Makes about 5 8-ounce jars

Ingredients

Ingredient Checklist

4 cups fresh blueberries, stemmed

1 package powdered pectin

2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

4 cups sugar

      Cook's Notes

Liquid pectin can be substituted for powdered pectin in all of these recipes, with no difference in results. Simply reverse the order in which the pectin and sugar are added.

      Cook's Notes

Be careful not to crush the berries too much; you want the jam to have some texture.
