Preparation
- Wash and rinse blueberries.
- Place them in a stock pot with a cup of water. Bring to a boil.
- Cover and lower the heat.
- Let the mixture simmer for about 15 minutes.
- Add the spices, salt, and honey.
- Simmer, uncovered, on low heat, until the fruit has cooked through, about 20 minutes.
- Stir periodically and taste towards the end of cooking.
- Add more honey if desired.
- While jam is cooking, sterilize jars and lids by placing them in the sink, pouring boiling water over them, and draining them on a clean dish towel.
- Separate oven racks so that a jar fits in between them and line the racks with cookie sheets.
- Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Ladle hot jam into hot jars.
- Make sure you leave 5 cm of headspace from the top of the jar.
- Remove air bubbles and adjust headspace as needed.
- Wipe any jam off of jar rims and put lids on jars.
- Screw bands down until tight.
- Turn off the oven.
- Place jars in oven and leave them in for 6 hours or so.
- Test jars by pressing on the top to make sure that the lid is firm.
- Repeat the oven canning process for any lids that are not firm.
- Label jars with name and date, place on pantry shelves.
Enjoy with grilled salmon, on breakfast toast, or with pancakes.
