No Cook Blueberry Jam Recipes

SIMPLE BLUEBERRY JAM - NO PECTIN, JUST 3 INGREDIENTS!

Steps:

• Wash the blueberries in a colander.
• Put the blueberries, sugar and lemon juice into a preserving pan.
• Place the pan over a gentle heat to slowly dissolve the sugar crystals, stirring with a wooden spoon from time to time.
• As the sugar starts to melt and the fruit warms up, take a potato masher to mash the blueberries, leaving some whole if desired.
• Once the sugar has completely dissolved turn up the heat and bring the pan to a rolling boil and time for 15 minutes, stirring all the while (to prevent the sugar burning on the base).
• Take the pan off the heat and test a few drops of the jam on a frozen saucer and place in the fridge for a minute. If when you push your finger through it the jam forms a crinkle and is gel like then it's ready. Otherwise boil for another couple of minutes and repeat process until ready.
• Pot up the jam in a sterilised hot jar using a small ladle or jam funnel.
• Screw on lid immediately.
• See notes for storage instructions.

BLUEBERRY JAM

Steps:

• Place blueberries and lemon juice in a heavy-bottomed jam pot and gently bring to a simmer over low heat. Mash the blueberries to help them release their juices.
• Once the blueberries have released their juices, increase heat to medium-high, and add sugar.
• Cook the jam until it reaches gel stage, about 20 minutes. Test for gelling on a plate that's been in the freezer, or use an instant-read thermometer (220 degrees F at sea level).
• Pour finished jam into prepared jars, seal with 2 part lids. Store in the refrigerator or water bath can for a shelf-stable blueberry jam.
