- It's so easy and fun to make your own jam. Blueberry jam is one of my favorites!
This recipe makes 5 ½ x half pint jars - 5 to store or give as gifts and ½ for you to eat right away.
Ingredients:
4 cups blueberries, crushed* (about 6 cups whole berries)
3 tbsp lemon juice
4 ½ tbsp classic pectin
3 cups sugar
* to crush blueberries, place in a single layer in the bottom of your pan and crush with a potato masher.
Equipment:
8 qt. pan for jam
Smaller pan for extra hot water
Large pan/stockpot for canning - I use a 21 qt. canner that has a jar rack as well.
6 half pint mason jars
Funnel
Jar-lifting tongs
Ladle
Magnetic lid lifter or tongs
Buy equipment you need here:
Waterbath Canner Starter Set - amzn.to/2ROxZNL
Half Pint (8oz) Jars - amzn.to/2wNnsuV
Ball Classic Pectin - amzn.to/34KP2p2
Ladle - amzn.to/3bkhMHB
- wash jars and lids with hot and soapy water and rinse well.
- to sterilize jars, place jars in canner with just simmering water. Leave the jars in there until ready to use.
- warm lids (do not boil) in smaller pan.
- in 8 qt. pan, mix blueberries and lemon juice. Gradually stir in pectin.
- bring mixture to a boil on high heat, stirring constantly.
- add sugar all at once and stir to dissolve. Bring to a hard boil (that can't be stirred down) and then boil for 1 minute.
- remove from heat and ladle into hot jars. Fill to about ¼ inch from the top.
- make sure there's no jam on the rim of the jars that could affect the seal. Clean with a damp cloth.
- place lids on top of jars and screw on bands until finger tight.
- place jars in canner and lower into water. Make sure there's at least 2 inches of water over the top of the jars. Bring water to a boil and process jars for 10 min. Use the following chart to adjust water canning times for different altitudes:
Altitude (feet) Increase processing time
1001 - 3000 5 minutes
3001 - 6000 10 minutes
6001 - 8000 15 minutes
8001 - 10000 20 minutes
- turn off heat, remove lid and allow jars to sit for 5 min.
- remove jars from water and place on a towel for at least 12 hrs. During this time you'll hear each of the lids pop as they seal.
- check the jars have sealed properly - they shouldn't move up and down when you press in the middle of the lid. If a jar hasn't sealed, you can refrigerate it and eat it or you can process the jar again using a new lid.
- keep processed jars in a cool, dry and dark place. They will last for about 1 year.

I’ve been making jam for years now and I never use pectin or gelatine. It always sets and always turns out wonderful.
Make sure you clean the rim of the jar before putting the lid on. Use vinegar and a cloth or paper towel.
Yes, this is very important!
I made this jam today and followed instructions exactly. It came out great! It did make 5 1/2 half pint jars as said. This was my first time to make jam and I am so happy with the results.
That's amazing! I want to learn how to do canning with everything
Please let me know how, to deseed the blueberry
I just want to say thank you for this video. Today I made my first blueberry jam. I followed your instructions and they where on the money. We where amazed on how acurrate you are, it taste sow awesome. With this it inspired me to do more canning. Thank you so much and I'll be looking forwards to other instructional videos that you make.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm so glad you're enjoying your blueberry jam :D
Just made some of this today! It turned out perfectly. I was a little lazy and didn't measure the squished berries. I just threw in 6 cups of blueberries into the pan (after washing of course) and squished them. It turned out to be like 5 & 3/4 jars of jam 👍🏻. I tasted it and it tastes great! Thanks for the recipe and video!
I like your tip about making only small batches. I made strawberry and blueberry today and they haven't set. But I realized they are double what you got. Let's see they are still cooling down now. I will follow your ratio of 4 cups fruit/ 3 cups sugar, not as sweet as the book/box recipes. Your a great instructor!
THANK YOU FOR THE RECIPE, I'M MAKING BLUEBERRY JAM TO DAY AND I KNOW IT'S GOING TO BE GOOD, I GROW BLUE BERRIES IN THE BACK YARD AND WE ARE SO BLESSED TO BE ABLE TO PICK OUT OWN.

Was the jam good?
My hubby came to me this AM complaining how expensive jelly and jams are nowadays! So, I told him that I can make some. It has been 30+ years since I've canned anything. I loved your presentation. You have excellent instructions & calming voice. Oh, now I have to put an APB on my canning supplies!!!!!
For you poor people who just want to know how to make delicious jam, let me explain what is going on in this comment section. BTS is a South Korean group that produces music. They (as you can obviously see) have a worldwide fanbase. Two of the members' names are Rap Monster (stage name) and Jimin. In a video, they were speaking English (Rap Monster is the only one who speaks fluently) and he told Jimin that he had no jams. I'm still not exactly sure what he meant by that, but it was really funny and the whole fanbase thinks so. This is why we are here, in your comment section, trying to make jams for Jimin. I apologize for the confusion (:
A.R.M.Y is invading omfg, even invading Tori Kelly because Jungkook's cover!! Lmao ;-;
as in jams he meant jaemi
jaemi is the korean word for fun, abbriviated to je(a)m
so when hoseok said 'your very no fun' rapmonster replied mixing two languages and saying 'jimin you got no jams' (jimin your not fun)
Well my wife has been into BTS for probably a year now. I'm don't really like any pop music though so I'm not up to speed on anything they do. Anyway, we moved into our new house not too terribly long ago and we have blueberry bushes in the from yard and I decided I was going to make blueberry jam. That's how I made it here. Then I find all this BTS stuff, and I guess I'm obligated to share it with my wife lol
Thank you so much for your quick and thorough response to my inquire! Just so I don't misrepresent anything, this was not my personal crop, I was just giving a guideline for the freshness of berries. ( I wish I had that kind of green thumb ) LOL Our life is quite hectic currently, but we should be able to try our hand at this in the next couple of weeks. I will absolutely report back the results! I am dreaming of fresh blueberry jam!
It does set without the additives, it just takes time. All you need to add is a little water and sugar, once the jars are property sealed they are preserved. I have some in my pantry from 3 years ago. If you want to properly preserve things in Mason or ball jars you don't want to tighten the rims down at all until the lids have popped and sucked down. After that is when you tighten down on the rim. Right after you add your hot jam or preserves to the jar is when you put the lid on and rim on lightly and allow them to cool on the counter until the air inside creates suction and pulls the lid down and makes a popping sound. Then tighten the rim and you're good to go. There is no need to heat them in water after filling.
Your video instructions was very easy to follow. Instead of smashing the blueberries before hand I used a hand blender after cooking them. I like my blueberry preserves blended more.
Great video, thanks for sharing. I just bought some blueberries and will use your recipe for it. btw, can you use the same recipe for other berries?
Thanks for this! We own a farm in Missouri and I think I am going to make jelly
Oh my Heavens! Wonderful Blueberry Jam! Perfect Mrs. Goose. The measurements were exact!

This is fantastic. I only made strawberry jam once so this recipe was easy for me as a beginner. It turned out well and I love that it is step by step.
Amazing! Thanks!
Going to try this recipe over the weekend. My first canning attempt.
I came here to make Jimin some jam.

I'm here to make Jimin some jams
Just made this recipe it came out great it is delicious and setup was perfect. Thank you for the recipe and the video!
Amazing! Thanks for watching and enjoy your jam...if there's any left ;)
Great clip. I like watching how other people do their canning. The only thing I would add would be to cover your jar as they cool. After years of canning I have seen all types of jar fail in the first 15 minutes of the cool down. Although a water bath is cooler than pressure cooking other goods, it's a good practice for all canning. my guess is you also do the same. I didn't understand the small batch. Of course like now when my cherry trees, and peach trees start producing large numbers are the only way to go. Thanks
Thanks for the tip and thanks for watching!
ARMY's are literally everywhere 😂 I've watched more than 3 videos how to make jam and most of the comments are about jimin's jam😂
So many A.R.M.Ys here😂😂😂

I tried this recipe in the recipe is awesome it was perfect blueberry jam thanks
Thanks!
My husband and I have recently discovered canning! We are enjoying the entire process and has been quite an economical pursuit. We have several pints of canned blueberries in medium simple syrup from this years crop We didn't have the time to make jam at the time. Would we be able to use these blueberries to make your Jam recipe? If so, would you be kind enough to provide a guide as to the sugar adjustment? Thank you for the video!
Louise Rymdeko Hi Louise. Thanks for watching my video! It must be amazing to have such a great crop of blueberries :) I've never tried making jam from canned fruit. If I was going to try it, I would treat it like a no-sugar jam and use the no-sugar needed pectin. The Ball pectin calculator www.freshpreserving.com/tools/pectin-calculator# is great to get the right ratios of everything. I would probably go with the low-sugar option as I think it would give a more jammy flavor. I would drain the blueberries really well...I'm sure the syrup would be lovely to use in other things, like fresh lemonade! I'd then crush them and measure the amount of blueberries and go from there. Maybe try a small amount first and see if you like the result. You can definitely can the jam as you would normally!
I hope that helps and if you give it a try, I'd love to hear how it goes :)
Thank You, for great tips
Somebody please make BTS watch this video. Jimin needs Jams.
American Test Kitchen says to use commercial lemon not fresh lemon in a bottle for safety reasons because fresh lemons have different levels of acidity whereas bottled lemon juice is guaranteed. Also FDA says you do not need to boil the jars before filled but use enough water to cover jars you are canning one inch. You can use natural pectin by adding one granny smith apple grated/.
You aren’t using lemon to add a certain kevel of acidity in this recipe, it is only used to help set the pectin, so using fresh juice is fine.
Thank you so much. I like your teaching.
I love your videos! Can you use this exact same ratio with raspberries?
I was wondering if I could use this for Any Berries? I have made this 3 times Perfect everytime! I did Rasberry blueberry Jam So Delish! Thank You!
Wow love your channel sweetheart I love to see different styles of cooking as I’m a chef myself and very passionate about it thanks for sharing it’s awesome and a like from us
jimin where u at
Let's face it, there are two types of people:
Those who like jam
And those who like BTS
Great!
I'd like to use this recipe to enter into my local fair. Could I use frozen berries? Also can I add a pinch of 2 of cinnamon for extra flavor?
I feel bad for these people. All they want is to show how they make jam, they probably don't even know who Jimin is. :(
IKR XD
So true! XD
So true! XD
Yeah but they’re getting views, comments and more money so it’s a win win for them lol
Who is Jimin?
I liked your video -thanks :)
going on a bunch of "how to make jam" video to search for Jimin's jams
thank you for sharing i am just starting out you did not do a setting test why ?
Good recipe Thanks
Thanks, I'm making some jams for mochi boy.
hi liked your video i make all sorts of jams & also jellies i like to see what others add as i love specialty jams if youd like to try a pinch of nutmeg with this it gives it that little bit of love like grandma used to make !

2 steps I do stir the air out with chop stick AND wipe rim Then close!!! :)
Very helpful thank you
I've watched different recipes but, noone told about to deseed the blueberry.please please let me know the method. I'm waiting for your reply

Same
Me reading all the comments...me screaming after seeing the amount of the comments that were wrote by army's...jimin you nice keep going
Thanks 👍🙂
SO SORRY MAAM, WE ARMYS ARE INVADING EVERY JAM VIDEO WE COULD FIND
lol jimin jam for blueberry jam i love to read the comments so funny
You should have wiped the rim of the jars before placing the tops on them. If dirty, the jar won't seal. I am glad it seems your did seal. Having the funnel that goes of the rim helps, I guess.
+Joyce T Yes! Very good point. I always wipe the rims if there's any jam on them. The jar I used as an example was clean, so I didn't do that in the video - sorry! It's definitely a step in the instructions, but I'll try to make sure I mention it in the video the next time I make some jam :) Thanks!
May I know that what kind of lemon juice that you have used? is it fresh lemon juice?
Nice method
Ok so I actually made the jam (for myself, not for Jimin) and it was delicious! Thanks for the great recipe!
Awesome. Thanks!
ya got some jams
Shouldn’t you wipe the top of the jar before putting the lid on? Or do you not have too.
If there's any spills on the top of the jar, then yes you should.
How many days does it take before the jam expires? How to determine expiration date of the product plz...
If it's processed and sealed properly, then it'll keep for at least a year when stored in a cool, dark place.
Please let me know,how to deseed blueberry.
ARMYS EVERYWHEREEEE
haha love these comments about jimin. hello A.R.M.Y
Is the fruit pectin necessary ? It’s just I don’t think I can buy pectin where I come from. If so, can I substitute?
I only came here to make Jimin some jams.
What did you do with the lemon juice did I miss something?
I added the lemon juice to the blueberries (6:20 in the video).
How much pectin if I am using Sure Jell boxes?
How long does I keep for??
do blueberries have seeds ?
Can I add a little bit of chilly pepper in
I've never tried, but I don't see why you couldn't add some.
*Searches for Jimins Jams*
I can't find any
Very good video!
Thank you!
