Ingredients

• 4 cups Fresh blueberries
• 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
• 3 tablespoons Lime juice
• 1 tablespoon Lime zest
• 1 packet Liquid pectin

Directions

Step 1

Rinse the blueberries thoroughly under cold water and drain well.

Step 2

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, lime juice, and lime zest.

Step 3

Mash the blueberries gently using a potato masher or fork to release their juices, but leave some chunks for texture.

Step 4

Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently to prevent sticking or burning.

Step 5

Once boiling, reduce the heat to medium and simmer the blueberry mixture for 10-15 minutes, continuing to stir occasionally.

Step 6

Add the liquid pectin to the mixture and stir well to incorporate.

Step 7

Bring the mixture back to a rapid boil and let it boil for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly.

Step 8

Remove the saucepan from heat and skim off any foam that may have formed on the surface.

Step 9

Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized jars, leaving about 1/4 inch of headspace at the top.

Step 10

Seal the jars with sterilized lids and process them in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes to ensure a proper seal.

Step 11

Allow the jars to cool completely at room temperature. Check for a proper seal by ensuring the lids do not flex when pressed.

Step 12

Store the jam in a cool, dark place. Once opened, refrigerate and consume within 3 weeks.
