How to Make Blueberry Jam Half Recipe

  1. Gently crush 2 cups of fresh blueberries in a medium-sized saucepan.
  2. Add 1/4 cup of lemon juice and 1/4 cup of water. Stir gently to combine.
  3. Stir in 1/2 of a 1.75 oz package of powdered pectin (reserve the other half for another batch).
  4. Bring the mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  5. Boil for exactly one minute, stirring continuously.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in 3 cups of granulated sugar.
  7. Return the saucepan to medium-high heat and bring the mixture back to a rolling boil, stirring constantly.
  8. Boil hard for one minute, stirring constantly to prevent scorching.
  9. Remove from heat and skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
  10. Ladle the hot jam into sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace.
  11. Wipe the jar rims clean, and place lids and rings on jars. Process in a boiling water bath for 8 minutes (adjust processing time according to your altitude).
  12. Remove jars and allow to cool completely. You should hear a satisfying 'pop' sound as the jars seal.
