How to Make Blueberry Conserve

  1. Combine 4 cups of water and 4 cups of sugar in a large saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring until sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Add 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/4 cup orange juice, and 1/2 cup raisins to the boiling mixture.
  3. Reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  4. Gently stir in 6 cups of fresh blueberries.
  5. Increase heat to medium-high and cook rapidly, stirring frequently to prevent sticking, until the conserve has thickened significantly (about 30 minutes). The conserve will be thick enough when a small amount placed on a chilled plate wrinkles slightly when pushed with a finger.
  6. While the conserve simmers, prepare your jars: wash jars and lids in hot, soapy water. Rinse thoroughly and sterilize in boiling water for 10 minutes.
  7. Ladle the hot conserve into the hot sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace at the top.
  8. Remove air bubbles by gently running a non-metallic utensil around the inside of the jar.
  9. Wipe the jar rims clean with a damp cloth.
  10. Secure the two-piece lids and rings fingertip tight.
  11. Process the filled jars in a boiling-water canner for 15 minutes (adjust processing time according to your altitude – consult a canning guide for specifics).
  12. Carefully remove jars from the canner and place them on a towel-lined surface. Allow to cool completely undisturbed.
  13. Listen for the distinctive ‘pop’ sound as the jars seal. If any jars don’t seal, refrigerate and use within a week.
