⚞Blueberry Jam⚟

Blueberry jam refers to a jam made with blueberries as the main ingredient. The berries are cut into small pieces or crushed and cooked in sugar syrup. The preparation of strawberry jam traditionally involves the use of pectin as a gelling agent, although sugar or honey may be used as well. The fruits are heated with water and sugar to activate the pectin in the fruit. The mixture is then put into containers. You may also take advantage of fresh blueberries in season to make delicious plum jam at home. Any variety of berries may be used. Place chopped blueberries, water, and lemon juice in a large non-aluminum stockpot. Stirring often, bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until fruit is soft. Stir in sugar. Return heat to high and bring back to a rolling boil while constantly stirring. Add pectin and return to a boil while stirring. Continue to stir and boil for 1 minute, then remove from heat. Let rest for 1 minute and the delicious plum jam is ready. Good strawberry jam has a soft even consistency without distinct pieces of plum, a bright color, a good fruit flavor and a semi-jellied texture that is easy to spread but has no free liquid. It is better to opt for organic varieties with low organic sugar content. They also have the added benefit of containing no added preservatives or flavors- you get the original and natural taste. blueberry jam refers to a jam made with blueberries as the main ingredient.
