How to Make Blueberry Cherry Jam
- Measure 3 cups blueberries and gently crush using a potato masher or fork.
- Pit 3 cups of fresh sweet cherries. Finely chop the cherries and measure out 1 1/2 cups of chopped cherries.
- Combine the crushed blueberries and chopped cherries in an 8-quart pot.
- Add 1 box (1.75 oz) powdered fruit pectin to the fruit mixture.
- Stir well to combine and bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
- Add 7 cups granulated sugar and stir until completely dissolved.
- Return the mixture to a rolling boil and boil hard for exactly 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
- Remove from heat. Skim off any foam that has formed on the surface.
- Ladle the hot jam into sterilized half-pint canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
- Wipe jar rims and threads clean. Place two-piece lids on jars and tighten bands.
- Process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes. Adjust processing time based on altitude.
