Blueberry Freezer Jam- Liquid Pectin

Liquid Pectin and crushed fruit makes an easy, sweet fruit spread with no cooking required. Store these soft-set spreads in the freezer or refrigerator. Do not decrease sugar; doing so may result in gel failure. For freezer jams with less sugar (higher ratio of fruit to sugar), use Bernardin Freezer Jam Pectin sold in 45 g pouches.

Yield:

Makes about 4 to 5 x 250 ml jars

Prep Time:

10 minutes

Processing Time:

Processing Time Not Required

Difficulty:

Beginner

Ingredients:

  • 2 2/3cups (650 ml) crushed blueberries
  • 4 cups (1000 ml) granulated sugar
  • 1 pouch (85 ml) BERNARDIN® Liquid Pectin
  • 2tbsplemon juice

Directions:


  • Wash and rinse 4 BERNARDIN® Freezer Jars and lids or 250 ml mason jars and closures.

  • Preheating Bernardin® lids is not advised. The sealing compound used for our home canning lids performs better at room temperature than it does pre-heated in simmering water (180°F). Simply wash lids in hot, soapy water, dry, and set aside until needed. Preheating can lead to less vacuum being achieved during water bath canning, and to buckle failures during pressure canning.

  • Wash and crush blueberries, one layer at a time.

  • Measure 2 2/3 cups (650 ml) crushed blueberries and all the sugar (4 cups or 1000 ml) into a large bowl. Mix well; let stand 10 minutes.

  • Squeeze entire contents of liquid pectin pouch into fruit-sugar mixture. Add lemon juice. Stir 3 minutes.

  • Ladle jam into clean jars to within 1/2 inch (1 cm) of top rim (headspace). Wipe jar rim removing any stickiness. Apply lids tightly. Let stand at room temperature until set, about 30 minutes.

  • Refrigerate up to 3 weeks, freeze up to 1 year, or serve immediately.
