Awesome! I'm so glad it was a help. Enjoy your jam

That's wonderful!!! Hope you have a great Harvest with some yummy jam!

It is yummy. Thanks for watching :)

Yay!!! Great job 😁

Thanks for watching. Which items are you referring to?

I would say yes. With the immersion blender....from my understanding...you need some liquid to use it. Hope that helps. It turned out really good. Thanks so much for watching.

Was REALLY GOOD. I think I actually like it better than our strawberry jam. Give it a try and let us know how you liked it!

We have never done that before. Have you? Does it affect the taste? Thanks for watching.

As a matter of fact, I just finished making pineapple and pineapple/jalapeno jams today. Yes I did use it, and it works! Didn't affect taste at all :)

Great to know. Thanks. We have always wondered. 😊

@@spunkerooo it also gives it a beautiful glassy look

Sounds good

First thank you for watching. We used Sure jell pectin. The full recipe is in the sure jell box.

If using liquid pectin how much for half recipe

Not sure...we used the box kind. But im sure there is a recipe with the liquid one as well. Thanks so much for watching. Let us know if you give it a try.

Just FOLLOW the directions on your pectin box. Does not call for lemon juice in this recipe. I would not add anything to recipe. Just follow, and you will do fine. It's so good. 😊

Up to one year if stored in a cool, dry place away from direct light. After that, the quality may degrade as sugar-resistant yeasts and bacteria ferment the sugars into alcohol and other flavors. However, the jam will still be safe to eat as long as it's unopened.

Are you talking about cooking of fruit? Length of time to water bath the jars?

@@ASimpleLifewithChrisTara how long can i keep fruits on my shelf off grid and boil times are 10 min for blueberries? What about the other fruits??? Thank you

Shelf life they say is 12 months Just follow the recipe on your pectin packet. It will tell you how long and for what fruit.

Thanks so much for watching

Well we have not had that problem so I assuming, yes. If you buy the Sure Jell pectin they have instructions you can follow and should come out perfectly :) I do know UNLESS you bought the low or no sugar(they do sell this) kind DO NOT reduce the amount of sugar you use or it won't turn out. Hope this helps you out.

Liquid pectin is added last. Powder pectin is added to fruit

Powdered Pectin Prior

Bread maker??? How does that come in to play? Interesting

@@ASimpleLifewithChrisTara will lot of breadmaker has jam and jelly settings it work just your pot on the stove .you don't have worried about it buring .

Interesting....thanks for sharing

As long as you follow the recipe on your pectin box, you will be fine

Thank YOU for watching. Give it a try sometime.

Thanks for stopping by

Well....lol... sorry about that. Thanks so much for watching, though... really appreciate it.

No, with this recipe you have to follow with the amount of sugar it says on the pectin box. They do make a low sugar version of pectin. Thanks for watching and commenting.

The recipe she's is using of from the insert with the sure-jell pectin. The recipe has been a scientifically developed by sure-jell with the correct amount of sugar to their pectin. If you adjust the sugar, or cooking times, it may very well affect the jam and could cause it not to "set". Sure-jell Wayne against this in the insert. Just saying.

Don't forget to go ahead while you go ahead and head on out chump ....don't forget to go ahead and go ahead and have a great day 🤣

Really? Wow.

Really what??

Yes, with this box of pectin, that is the amount you have to use. They do make a low sugar option

It is but using this kind of pectin it is important to use the amount of sugar it says on the box or it will not turn out right. They do make a low sugar one which we want to try plus lots of recipes with no sugar. Hope you find one you like. Thanks for watching.

Yay!! Im so glad it was helpful 😊 We are wanting to try the low sugar/no sugar one sometime as well. Thanks so much for watching.

Just personal preference. Thanks for watching.

Thanks so much for watching. 😊 They say good up to a year....and you only need to refrigerate AFTER it has been opened.

When it comes to canning, sometimes you miss the pinging sound that gives you auditory confirmation that your jars have sealed. Just because you didn’t hear it doesn’t mean that the jars didn’t seal. Here are some ways to test…. Press down on the center of the lid. Does it move up and down, or does it feel solid and concave? Solid and concave means a good seal. Movement means no seal. Tap on the lid. Does it sound tinny or hollow? Tinny means sealed, hollow means poor or no seal. Unscrew the band you used to hold the lid in place during processing. Now attempt to pick your jar up, holding onto nothing but the lid. If you have a good seal, you should be able to do this easily. You’ll know pretty much right away when you remove the band whether your seal is good.

Thanks for watching by the way 😊

Thank you for the video. First time canning. I did 2 batches because we picked 35 lbs of blueberries.

Yay!!! Awesome job 😁

Not with this recipe. You need to follow the recipe on the pectin box. But I'm sure if you google, you might find one with honey.

The general rule of thumb is as follows. 1 cup granulated sugar = 3/4 cup honey. I use honey in all of my jelly and this is the ratio I use.

​@@chrisborder4746 I've always wanted to substitute honey, but I've been afraid the pectin won't set correctly. You've had no problems with the pectin sitting with the honey?

You have to follow the directions on your pectin box, or it will not turn out. Google and see if you can find a recipe with honey.

@@DisneyUpBoilerUp so for the late reply. Life has been busy!! I have not had any issues so far..... knock on wood. I do use a candy thermometer and make sure it gets up to the jelly temperature. If you do have any issues you can always just reprocess them and add another package of pectin.

I forget in this video how many berries we used, but on your pectin box, it will tell you how many berries you will need. (Inside pamphlet) Happy Canning 😊

Hey, it's all about learning. You can never quit learning. I'm so glad this video helped. Thanks so much for watching and commenting... We appreciate it!

Great! We love it. Let us know how you like it. Thanks for watching. We appreciate it!

Thank you 😊 We appreciate your feedback and watching

😊😊

Just follow your recipe on your Pectin Box, and you will be good

No, not with this box of pectin. It is important to put in the amount it says on the box. But they do make a low sugar pectin, plus you can also find no sugar jam. Hope this helps.

Thank you

3 weeks I refrigerated and up to a year canned

Up to one year if stored in a cool, dry place away from direct light. After that, the quality may degrade as sugar-resistant yeasts and bacteria ferment the sugars into alcohol and other flavors. However, the jam will still be safe to eat as long as it's unopened.

We used 1/2 pints. Let us know if you make it. Would love to know if you liked it.

Ohhh nice. Sounds great. Will have to remember that and give it a try. Thanks!

I seen your suppose to add lemon juice to add acid to be able to be safe water bath canning

Yes, we used Sure Jell. It's easy peasy follow the directions on pectin box for BLUEBERRY JAM and you will do fine. As to how many jars you should be able to tell by how many we did.

We used the regular pectin. Thanks so much for watching.

Just because you didn’t hear it doesn’t mean that the jars didn’t seal. Here are some ways to test…. Press down on the center of the lid. Does it move up and down or does it feel solid and concave? Solid and concave means a good seal, movement means no seal. Tap on the lid. Does it sound tinny or hollow? Tinny means sealed, hollow means poor or no seal. Unscrew the band you used to hold the lid in place during processing. Now attempt to pick your jar up holding onto nothing but the lid. If you have a good seal, you should be able to do this easily. You’ll know pretty much right away when you remove the band whether your seal is good. Hope this helps!

Yay...so glad it was. You will love it...so yummy.

@@ASimpleLifewithChrisTara I'm so excited to try! It looks amazing. This is my first time canning so it's going to be a learning process for sure but thankfully I got help by y'alls video and I can go and get the things I need to learn how! It's amazing and I look forward to learning more from ya cause you are very skilled at it all! That's goals haha thank u!! 🥺❤️

First...thanks for watching. Surejell has directions inside the box. If I was you I would stick to the directions so you will have less of a chance of mess ups.

Not with this recipe. Very important to follow the pectin recipe that is on the box for it to turn out. But I'm sure if you search you might find one where you can.

The recipe we used was from Sure Jell.....and with their recipe, no you do not. Hope that helps 😊

thank you so much. how long will it store please @@ASimpleLifewithChrisTara

For sure, 12 months 👍

I have never used frozen berries, but you can. I think you need to thaw berries first. Do a search, and I'm sure you will find many recipes on how to use frozen berries. Thanks for watching.

We found that at an antique mall. But I bet if you did a search, you might be able to find one online. Thanks for watching 😊

@@ASimpleLifewithChrisTara thanks for responding!! 🥰

@@ASimpleLifewithChrisTara we hate to use too many plastics and have almost replaced everything with glass. Thanks for the info! 🥰

You're welcome...anytime

Umm never said Wild blueberry that I know of???

😁yea...we're working on that

Agree... alot of sugar but this was not the low sugar kind. So you might want to look for the low or no sugar kind.
