Ingredients – This recipe is right off the Certo instructions.
In a medium bowl, crush the blueberries.
Measure exactly 2 cups of crushed blueberries
measuring with a dry ingredients measuring cup.
Place the crushed blueberries in a medium bowl or pan.
Add exactly 4 cups of sugar but make sure you use a
dry ingredients measuring cup to measure the sugar.
Stir until the sugar is completely mixed in with the blueberries.
Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Mix the Certo and lemon juice together.
Add the Certo mixture to the blueberries.
Mix it together and continue to stir for 3 minutes
or until the sugar dissolves.
Pour the blueberry jam into your containers (with lids) that
have been washed with hot soapy water and rinsed well.
Make sure you leave at least 1/2” headspace for expansion when the jam freezes.
Wipe the container and the rim clean with a paper towel before you put the lid on.
Place the lids on the jar sealing it tight.
Let the jam sit on the counter at room temperature
for 24 hours or until the jam sets.
I checked mine after 2 hours and they were completely set.
Refrigerate for up to three weeks or freeze for up to a year.

It’s fine my mom used to make it this way my entire childhood. The key is thawing it in the refrigerator ahead of time. Although it doesn’t look quite as pretty as canned it tastes fabulous! The flavor is so amazing! Thanks Robin!!

I’ll give it a try. I don’t can a lot of stuff,mainly because I don’t have a good storage location for canned goods.

Strawberry jam is another really good one. When you buy the pectin (I used CERTO) it will tell you how to make just about any fruit jam. I like this because it only makes 5 cups and doesn’t take up that much room.
