Blueberry Jam 🫐🫙| Frozen Berries, Powdered Pectin | DELICIOUS Water Bath Recipe 

Yes, fresh lemons are more along the lines of rebel canning because bottle lemon juice gives a consistent acid level. However, so long as the food is lower than 4.5 pH it’s still safe to water bath can. Blueberries are around 3-3.5 pH with lemon juice been lower than that between 2-3 pH. Sugar is also acidic. Making this an acidic environment to begin with in terms of preserving. I mentioned I have never had an issue of mold, broken seals, or off smelling jams when using fresh lemons, even years later! I hope this helps! You of course can just use a few tablespoon bottle lemon juice in substitute. Citric acid also works well. Thank you for your comment and thanks for watching!

You can find the written recipe with specific measurements here: thecottagevegetable.com/2023/04/11/blueberry-jam-using-frozen-berries-pectin/ And cup measurements vary depending on the size of the berries themselves. For me and my kitchen, weight is easier. Thank you for watching.

I buy it off Amazon and I get the Anthonys brand. Works like a charm every time! It comes in a 1.5-pound bag, which isn't considered a large bulk item but much larger than the little packets or little tubs you can find through other brands. Link here: amzn.to/3V2gOrf Hope that helps!

You're welcome! And this is how I normally make it. Blueberries are easier to get a thick set with compared to other fruits, so I wouldn't overthink it.

Yes! Plus a half of an extra jar as extra. Recipe here: thecottagevegetable.com/2023/04/11/blueberry-jam-using-frozen-berries-pectin/
