Blueberry Jam - Homemade Food Gift

Blueberry Jam

At the height of blueberry season, you'll find me making many batches of this scrumptious jam. It's both sugar-free and cholesterol-free, so it's perfect for everyone!

Fran Boise Marion, New York

1/3 cup thawed apple juice concentrate

1 envelope plain gelatin

5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Pour the apple juice concentrate into saucepan; sprinkle with gelatin and allow to soften for several minutes

Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, finely chop blueberries, 1 cup at a time. Add lemon juice, spices and 2 cups of chopped berries to gelatin; heat over medium-low heat until gelatin is dissolved. Remove from heat; stir in remaining berries and mix well.

Pour into jars or plastic containers; store in the refrigerator up to three weeks.

Yield: 4 cups
