Blueberry Jam (Newfoundland)

canadian-newfoundland-blueberyjamlime Newfoundland Blueberry Jam with lime, using low sugar pectin. Made with incredible Newfoundland wild blueberries. The hint of lime pairs beautifully with the berries and the low sugar recipe lets their natural flavour shine.

2 limes, freshly zested, finely minced
3 large limes, freshly juiced
1 cup apple or grape juice
4-5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1 pkg Bernardin No Sugar Needed Pectin (49 g)
1-1½ cup sugar
2 limes, freshly zested and finely chopped
3 limes, freshly squeezed

Crush the blueberries well. I use potato masher on mine.

Add the berries to a medium sized saucepan along with the pectin, lime juice and apple juice. (NOT THE SUGAR OR LIME ZEST YET).

Bring this mixture to a rolling boil over high heat, stirring constantly, for 3-4 minutes.

Add the sugar and lime zest and boil hard for another 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

Remove from heat and bottle according to the jars manufacturers , including processing in a water bath.

Makes 100 servings.
