Over the Christmas season, I testament alive posting a kind of irksome recipes that I'm calling GIFTS FROM THE KITCHEN. The beauty of this grab is that you lot lot tin build these gifts far inwards advance of your hectic opor-garai baking schedule inwards improver to they testament alive "waiting inwards your pantry" for that neighbor, schoolhouse teacher, piece of occupation friend or unexpected lastly min guest on Christmas Eve!! (check out link at stop of this shipping for more than or less wonderful (and free) "From the Kitchen of..." gift tags you lot lot tin download).
My kickoff GIFT FROM THE KITCHEN shipping is for Blueberry Jam... a quick inwards improver to irksome recipe that uses frozen blueberries (I don't level thaw them first). This jam has a wonderfully fresh taste!!
5 cups finely chopped frozen blueberries (see notes below)
2 tablespoons lemon juice
7 cups granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon butter
(2) iii ounce pouches of liquid Certo pectin
Prepare your jam jars. Personally, I seat them through the hottest setting on my dishwasher, inwards improver to thence let them sit/steam inwards at that topographic betoken patch I build the jam. For the lids, I wash and rinse them, then let them sit down downwards inwards a pan of almost boiling water, patch I build the jam.
We like a jam that doesn't straight hold a lot of serious "chunk-age" (as picky-picky married adult man calls it) thence I seat the frozen blueberries inwards the food processor (a few cups at a time) inwards improver to physical care for them until they are most the size of rice, thence the lastly jam has the consistency of a fruit spread. If you lot lot like "chunk-age" inwards your jam, solely don't chop the berries thence small.
The recipe calls for v cups of chopped berries. I use a regular measuring loving loving cup inwards improver to pack as many chopped berries as I tin inwards it (do that for each of the v cups). Place the chopped berries, lemon juice, sugar and butter inwards a large heavy kettle.
Heat on medium, stirring constantly, until the refined saccharify is dissolved. Increase the oestrus to medium high inwards improver to select it all to a FULL ROLLING BOIL (one that testament non stop boiling when you lot lot stir it).
Remove from oestrus (but don't close off the burner) inwards improver to add together together BOTH pouches of liquid Certo pectin (make sure enough you lot lot squelch it all out of the pouch). Put the pan back on the heat and select the jam back to a FULL ROLLING BOIL FOR ONE MINUTE.
Turn the oestrus off inwards improver to skim whatever "foam" that is on motion past times times of the jam (if at that topographic betoken is any) inwards improver to fill upwards upwards HOT jars, leaving 1/4" of top dog space. Wipe rims of drinking drinking glass jars alongside clean, wet towel. Put on the ii while lids inwards improver to tighten.
Process inwards hot H2O bath: Pints for 15 minutes or half pints for 10 minutes.
NOTE: If you lot lot create upwards one's yell for brain to thaw the berries (I never do)make sure enough you lot lot practice non rinse them or drain them (you testament wishing to include whatever berry juice that results from thawing.
NOTE: I can't tell you lot lot only how many pounds of frozen blueberries makes v cups of chopped berries. I'm guessing that I used most 1½ or ii pounds?
NOTE: This recipe uses LIQUID pectin, I straight hold never made this alongside powdered pectin. Certo is made past times times Sure Jell inwards improver to at that topographic betoken are ii iii ounce pouches of liquid pectin inwards each box.
NOTE: I constitute a describe a fast 1 on inwards an OLD cookbook that has worked wonders to eliminate "floating jam pieces"...those bits of fruit that business office their way to the motion past times times of each jar, but THIS STEP IS NOT NECESSARY!!! data technology scientific discipline IS SIMPLY COSMETIC!!!
Right after you lot lot straight hold the jam off of the oestrus for the lastly time, let it rest inwards the hot pan for FIVE MINUTES; gently stir (with a sterile spoon) every lx seconds. It truly does eliminate problems alongside floating fruit).
NOTE: I constitute more than or less fantastic gift tags for "Home made gifts from the Kitchen" that you lot lot tin download (free) at: www.unsophisticook.com CLICK HERE You tin print them on cardstock or photograph paper inwards improver to they appear excellent!!
