Sounds good! Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups coarsely chopped 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 |
1 (3 ounce) envelope liquid fruit pectin |
Directions:
1. Wash 4 half-pint jars. Keep hot until needed. Prepare lids as manufacturer directs.
2. Combine the blueberries, sugar, honey, lemon juice, cinnamon, nutmeg and orange zest 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 pectin.
3. For long-term storage at room temperature, ladle hot jam into 1 hot jar at a time, leaving 1/4 inch head space. Wipe jar rim with a clean, damp cloth. Attach lid. Fill and close remaining jars. Process in a boiling-water canner for 10 minutes (for 15 minutes at 1,000 to 6,000 feet; for 20 minutes above 6,000 feet).
4. For storage in refrigerator or freezer, place in plastic freezer containers or glass jars, cover with tight-fitting lids and refrigerate or freeze.
