How to Make Blueberry Lemon Jam

  1. Combine blueberries, lemon juice, lemon zest, and sugar in a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan.
  2. Bring mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the jam reaches setting point (a small amount placed on a chilled plate wrinkles when pushed with a finger). Stir frequently to prevent sticking.
  4. Remove from heat and skim off any foam.
  5. Ladle hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
  6. Wipe jar rims clean, place lids and rings on jars, and tighten to fingertip tightness.
  7. Process jars in a boiling water bath according to Ball Home Canning instructions for optimal shelf life and safety.
