I came across a recipe of sugar cookies with jam a top of them. Those of you who know me I never cook simply so instead of going to the store and buying blueberry jam, I decided to make my own blueberry jam. This recipe fills about 4 one pint jars.
6 c. smashed blueberries (8-10 cups unsmashed)
6 c. sugar
1 lemon, zested and juiced
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg, grated
1 box (2 packets) liquid pectin
In large pot add smashed blueberries and sugar. Bring to boil. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, lemon zest and juice. Continue to cook for 15 minutes, stirring constantly. Add pectin and bring to roilling boil for full 5 minutes. Turn off heat and fill jars. Wipe rim and apply lid. Process in water bath.
