Prep Time:

10 minutes

Processing Time:

Processing Time Not Required

Difficulty:

Beginner

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups (1000 ml) crushed blueberries, about 4 pints (2 L)
  • 2 tsp (10ml) lightly packed finely grated orange zest
  • 1-1/2 cups (375 ml) granulated sugar or SPLENDA® No Calorie Sweetener
  • 1 pouch (45 g) BERNARDIN® Freezer Jam Pectin

Directions:


  • Wash and rinse 5 BERNARDIN® Freezer Jars and lids or 250 ml mason jars and closures.


  • Pulse blueberries in food processor (do not purée) OR crush thoroughly by hand; measure 4 cups (1000 ml) in a shallow bowl or pan. Heat blueberries in microwave or on stovetop, stirring frequently just until they come to a boil. (Although not essential, heating enhances the intensity of blueberries’ colour and flavour. Heating also softens the blueberry skins to yield a smoother spread.) Stir in grated orange zest; set aside.

  • In a large mixing bowl, combine Freezer Jam Pectin and sugar or SPLENDA®until well blended. Add fruit mixture to pectin-sugar mixture; stir 3 minutes.

  • Ladle jam into jars, leaving 1/2 inch (1 cm) headspace. Wipe jar rims removing any residue. Apply lids tightly. Let stand until thickened, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate up to 3 weeks, freeze up to 1 year, or serve right away.
