A great easy recipe for jam I found by using leftovers after hitting the blueberry patch in Michigan! Ingredients:
3 pounds fresh blueberries, crushed |
1 1/2 pounds pitted fresh sweet cherries, crushed |
1 (11 ounce) can mandarin orange segments, drained and crushed |
1/4 cup lemon juice |
1 (1.75 ounce) package powdered fruit pectin |
5 1/2 cups white sugar |
Directions:
1. Combine the blueberries, cherries, oranges, lemon juice, and pectin in a large pot; bring to a rolling boil. Stir in the sugar until it dissolves completely and the mixture returns to a rolling boil; boil 1 minute and remove from heat. Pour into hot, sterilized jars and top with sterilized lids. Secure lids with bands, process for 5 minutes in a boiling water bath. Allow jars to cool slowly, creating a vacuum seal. Allow to sit at room temperature 1 to 2 days to allow jam to set. Refrigerate after opening.
