I think we are at the point of throwing in the towel! Should have planted Raspberries!
Blueberries are a favorite around here, so I was excited when I found them for 99 cents a pint.
They freeze well, and that was a great price, so I stocked up.
I finally had time to try a new jam recipe, Blueberry Lime Jam.
I had some in the household that were skeptical about the addition of lime, but I thought it sounded delicious, and since I am the one making the jam, I added the lime! Thankfully, it was delicious and a definite add to the recipe box.
Blueberry-Lime Jam
4 1/2 Cups Crushed Blueberries
Grated Zest and Juice of 1 Large Lime
1 Box of Powdered Fruit Pectin
5 Cups Sugar
In Saucepan combine berries, lime zest and juice. Add Pectin, and stir until dissolved. Bring to a boil, add sugar. Return to a full, rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil for one minute. Remove from heat, skim off foam.
Ladle jam into canning jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Wipe rims, put on lids and screw bands.
Process in Water Bath for 10 minutes.
**I bought a container of pectin, and not the boxed. I added 6 Tablespoons of Pectin.

Trying any new recipes this canning season?

I bet this is delicious!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting combination!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the recipe with us-it sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteYour welcome,
DeleteLove the canning group!!
That does sound good! Now if I can find a good deal on bluberries!
ReplyDeleteI was surprised to find them for 99 cents. The sale only lasted a week!
DeleteI just wish we were getting them out of our blueberry patch....sigh....
Sandra, that sounds delicious. I am actually canning a new blueberry jam this week too. I hope to post my pictures tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteBlueberry is a favorite around here, last year it was blueberry/strawberry.
DeleteI will be sure to stop by your blog and check out your jam :)
I love blueberries and I love lime - so this combo should be a good one for me! Thanks for the recipe. I will use it when I get some blueberry plants that produce a lot of fruit, hopefully someday soon! I wonder why your blueberries aren't doing well? Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteOur soil is the problem, we are trying to correct it but still not seeing results.
DeleteGood luck with your blueberries :)
Funny because that is how I feel about our raspberries! The ants are eating all of the leaves :( Your jam looks so tasty! Have a wonderful week Sandra!
ReplyDeleteSorry about your raspberries, growing produce can be so frustrating at times!
DeleteYummy! I haven't made jam in years. I hopped over here from the Feature Friday Linky Party and I'm so glad I did. WOOL! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for stopping by!
DeleteAlways nice to meet another "wool" enthusiast :)
Oh man! I dream of 99 cent a pint blueberries again. I'm lucky to find them for 2.50 a pint during blueberry season. The jam sounds divine though!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean! I was so surprised to find them at that price.
DeleteOh my goodness, this sounds amazing! I made prickly pear jam with lime before - it really adds something to it. I can't wait to try this one :)
ReplyDeleteThis looks delicious! I wonder how the lime will make it taste, I can't wait to try it! :)
ReplyDeleteHi Mary,
ReplyDeleteIt really isn't that much lime, but enough to taste a hint of it.
My family has really enjoyed it.
This sounds delicious! We have a blueberry farm a half hour away and have stocked up on them! They have all been used but I will try this next year! Thank you for sharing it on the Art of Home-Making Mondays!
