BLUEBERRY JAM

Recipe

Ingredients:

600g firm blueberries (remove the mushy ones)

400g granulated sugar

1 tablespoon lemon juice

*I used much less sugar than specified in the recipe

Directions:

1. Wash the blueberries

2. Put the blueberries, sugar and lemon juice into a saucepan

3. Place the pan over a gentle heat to slowly dissolve the sugar crystals, stirring with a wooden spoon from time to time.

4. As the sugar starts to melt and the fruit warms up, take a potato masher to mash the blueberries, leaving some whole if desired.

5. Once the sugar has completely dissolved turn up the heat and bring the pan to a rolling boil and time for 15 minutes, stirring all the while.

6. Take the pan off the heat and test a few drops of the jam on a frozen saucer and place in the fridge for a minute. If when you push your finger through it the jam forms a crinkle and is gel like then it’s ready. Otherwise boil for another couple of minutes and repeat process until ready.

7. Pot up the jam in a sterilised hot jar using a small ladle or jam funnel.

8. Screw on lid.

9. Enjoy! :)
