It is blueberry season on Kodiak! We have some laiden bushes on the mission and Emily and I made it a point to go and collect a bunch. We learned something valuable. Blueberries take FOR-EVA to pick!!
We got a bunch and decided to make jam. It turned out great. It is a basic recipe with no pectin but it cooks up thick and fruity and delicious.
Kodiak Wild Blueberry Jam
10 cups of fresh blueberries
6 cups granulated sugar
1/3 cup lemon juice
1. Combine the berries, sugar and lemon juice in a heavy bottomed stock pot over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and reduce heat to medium. Keep jam at a steady low boil until the berries burst and the jam is thick and reduced by half.
2. Ladel into sterilized and prepared jars. Process in a hot water bath for 10 minutes and enjoy.
