How to Make Spiced Blueberry Jam
- Gently rinse the blueberries and remove any stems or leaves.
- Crush the blueberries using a potato masher or fork until mostly broken down but still slightly chunky. Do not completely puree.
- Measure 2 1/2 cups of the crushed blueberries. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if necessary, to reach the correct measurement.
- Pour the crushed blueberries into a large, heavy-bottomed pot.
- Add the lemon juice, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a full rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Once boiling, continue to boil hard for exactly 1 minute, stirring continuously to prevent sticking.
- Remove the pot from the heat. Stir in the liquid pectin according to the package instructions. Stir vigorously for about 1 minute.
- Immediately ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe the rims clean, place lids and rings, and process in a boiling water bath according to your jar manufacturer’s directions for optimal shelf life.
