Ingredients:
2 Cups Blueberries (340g)
1/4 Cup Water (60ml)
1 Cup Sugar (190g)
Tools:
Glass Mason Jars
Directions:
1. Place berries in a saucepan and mash most of them. Add water and heat over medium heat. Bring to a simmer and cook stirring occasionally until berries are soft and crushed. Once the jam is cooking at a rolling boil, stir in the sugar. Lower heat to medium-low and continue cooking at a boil stirring constantly. Cook for 20 minutes or until the jam thickens and darkens in color.
2. To test for doneness, place a bit of jam on a chilled plate and freeze for 5 minutes. Gently press the jam, it should wrinkle on top.
3. Fill jars with jam and seal them.
| Makes about 10oz. of Jam
How to Sterilize and Seal Jars:
1. Place the lids of washed jars in hot water(not boiling). Place the jars in a pot of boiling water and boil for 5 minutes. Remove jars and lids from water and place on a clean cloth to dry.
2. Once the jars have been filled with jam, close with the lids tightly, and place into boiling water. Boil for 10 minutes.
*Sealed jars can be stored at room temperature. If opened or not sealed, jams should be stored in the refrigerator.

Those complaining about the sugar quantity..... Jam was invented way before refrigerators were commonplace! The sugar is there primarily as a preservative to prevent mold growing and to retain the nice colour of whatever fruit you are preserving. Even in a fridge skimp on the sugar too much and you will likely find mold before you finish the jam. The sugar also helps to thicken the jam. Your result will be a runny spread not a jam with less sugar.
It's not like you're drinking the stuff, I hope. Unless you are diabetic this recipe is delicious and absolutely fine health wise. I'm in my third year of making this with great results. Thank you Sweetest Journey!
Say it’s so 😍
I agree that sugar helps the jam set. Alternatively, pectin can be used as a stiffening agent.
However, sugar doesn’t prevent mold. Leave a jar of opened jam on a counter and return after a week. It will be covered in mold.
To prevent mold from growing inside a sealed jar of jam, wash the blueberries in water and vinegar. The vinegar will kill any mold spores on the jam.
The water used to seal the jars in this video, just barely covered the lids. For a good seal, the maker should have covered the lids with at least one inch of water. That’s why there was no “pop” when the maker lifted the lid.
@@RDens4d in case the seal Is opened to use jam, after vinegar washing, is it going to grow mold ? I don't want to add that much sugar.
@@janezaray811I put much less sugar and a little bit lemon juice. I also use chia seed to thicken my jam.
No true lemon juice thicken the jam and preserve for long period she forgotten the main ingredient lemon juice citric acid to preserve jam
I've been trying to make Blueberry jam for a few days now, and followed a few different recipes online. All of them basically had the blueberries on the stove top for not longer than 10 minutes tops, and all my jams came out water/liquidy. This is the first time I've seen someone say cook for 25 to 30 mins and it makes so much more sense now.
I actually only cooked mine for 5 and it didnt turn out liquidity. If I cooked it any longer it would have burned. So I would just watch it
@@firekrackergirl6620maybe too much water was used perhaps? I’m currently trying this recipe. I’m gonna wait the 25 minutes because it does look a tad watery
@@pourmeanother__3522 yeah i think it also depends on the fruit. I just eyeballed it. Take it off the stove every 10 minutes. Mix it around and take it off when it has the consistency of regular jam
Simple! NO one standing around explaining how the Romans discovered blueberries while they were invading some country and discovered blueberries and how .... :)
😂righttt
Haha right!
...ain't that the truth!
😂😂😂
So true! It is so frustrating when people record themselves half of the video and we have to skip it to be able to see the actual recipe!
Kind of fortuitous. I just made blue berry jam yesterday. So so delicious. I did not add that much sugar. I added a little hint lemon juice for tang. Also when water bath canning please allow at least 1 inch of boiling water ABOVE canning jar lid. Happy Canning
How much sugar did you add? I want to try this but I don't want 1/3 of the recipe being sugar
@@Scorned to be honest i wouldnt use any sugar at all, the blueberries have natural sugars already and i can imagine it tasting more sugary after caramelizing it, but i cant say anything just yet cuz i havent tried that for myself, i would guess she used half of what he poured it, probably even less.
I add some lemon 🍋 zest to mine. And not as much sugar. Came out great.
I didn't water can mine since it will self seal and I will be putting it in the frig. I added lemon zest and 1 TB of fresh lemon juice, cinnamon, clove powder and nutmeg and also a few fennel seeds. It was delightful! If it was for LT, then water canning is a must. Great video!! 👍
I can't believe I've been paying for jam all my life. I never imagined it was so easy. Thank you.
Raised by Cats.. Ikr? Not anymore...and its bomb. Home made whipped cream and home made jam makes incredible french toast!!
Friends forever. Friendly jam. Friendliness is.
it's cheaper to buy the jam!
@@Poetikaliz not really, I just bought a pint of blueberries for 1.48 I’m making recipe this and will get three 8oz jars out of it.
@@Poetikaliz Depends on location and season.
Super easy recipe. I just finished making it. There was a little left over after I put it into cans, and my husband said it tastes like blueberry pie. Thank you!
Great video. I will add like others have said, cover the jars with at least an inch of water when doing the the water bath. ALSO!! Don’t tighten the ring on the lid so much before doing so. Just tighten it enough to keep the lid from moving off so that air can escape during the processing. If you tighten as much as the video shows you’ll get a false seal and potentially have air trapped in the jar when storing. You can tell the seal wasn’t that good on the jar in the video because there was a very quiet pop when the jar was opened. You want a good solid POP when opening your sealed jars.
Every time I follow this recipe, my blueberry jam turns out perfect. Thank you so much for sharing this!
I usually dislike silent videos, but this one was an easy read w simple instructions, thx 😊
making ur recipe. I used 1/2 the sugar, way to sweet for me, my sauce isnt getting very thick. it is getting darker, what should i do? thx
I like the editing on your video keep up the awesome work
Exactly the recipe I need. Making a Victorian sponge cake & don’t have any jam but I have 2 cups of blueberries 🫐
I love how the channel only likes the comments about the actual jam and not jimins jams
Well I'm not entirely too sure about what people are talking about 😅 Although, honestly I'm grateful because they're probably the ones most engaged in the video. I just hope they are having fun making this Jimin some jam.~ 😊🤗
It’s kinda an inside joke between the fans of a kpop boy group
@@Thesweetestjourney that’s the joke everyone’s talking about haha
I added 3/4 cup of brown sugar thinking that should have made it less sweet. Man was I wrong. I should have read the comments first and only put in maybe 1/4 of sugar. Great video to show how to make blueberry jam, check on the consistency and all, but you could definitely use less sugar
Hi!
I tried your blueberries jam today! Came out really well! Thank you soooooo much for sharing your recipe 🤗😊
Made this today and it was * chefs kisses*! Thank you!!
Thank you so much for sharing, this recipe is so simple and the result is amazing! I also just want to say that you have an extraordinary channel; you're extremely underrated. I wish you much love and success! Thank you for sharing your creative ideas and recipes!
I agree this is a great video. Straight to the point short and sweet
how long would a jar of unopened blueberry jam last if not kept in a refrigerator? this looks great by the way very nice video !! super concise and to the point
Thank you! Unopened jams that have been sealed in a hot water bath usually last about a year when stored in a cool, dry place.
It looks delicious. 😋 Thank you for this recipe, the ingredients and the step on making this Jam.🏆 🧑🍳 Is a must try recipe.
Just made jam using this...Came out awesome! Thanks!
this seems like a great recipe thanks. i certainly am trying it out for my preserving food project.
yall the jimins jams thing is dead pls stop and be respectful, this isnt a bts video, and people might want to see actual useful comments
Yeah it's annoying, you're looking for useful comments and you see worthless comments that contribute nothing to what you came for
You just earned a sub from all the feed back you give in the comment section.
BRAVO!
I have a question..Why do you need to place the jars in boiling water?
I appreciate the straight to the point recipe tyty and for that I’m subscribing
You’re a pro in making videos!
This is such a perfect video. Well done on all levels. Bravo. 🏆
This is amazing. I had so many blueberries in my freeze that I picked off of the bushes this year and couldn’t eat them all so I just made this jam. It’s fantastic! I doubled the batch
💙 🫐
Lucky! I have to settle for store bought, but plan to plant some blueberry bushes this up coming year!
How long does it lasts ?
Great recipe! Easy to follow! Thank you!
Can you use boysenberry instead of blueberries?? Or do I need to change the recipe a little?? (I’m sorry it’s kind of a dumb question) I’m wanting to make boysenberry jam and I’m assuming it similar.
P.S. you video is my ultimate favorite while I’ve been looking for a good recipe!!!😊🐸💛
My Memaw would be screaming “child that’s not finger tight! Do you want that jar to explode?!”
How long would you say the jam lasts?

Enjoyed the music too!

How long does this jam last
Thank you for this video. I will definately try this.
Dang even in the middle of drinking vodka that looks good.
Remember when your mom dropped you off at the movies and she gave you a spoon with a jar of jam
henry fuller WHAT
No
We love friends
Can you use frozen or fresh blueberries?
Frozen berries will make it watery.
Wow, love the music and the presentation 💙💜💙💜
NOW I know what to do with all the blueberries I just picked!!!
quick question, can i use this recipe for strawberries??
Jimin coming here trying to learn to get jams
omg lmao
BAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
cringe
Lmao wtf haha
Lol
i wonder if i can use a blender to make it more finer and pure
You never can in a pot like that you need something on the bottom or your jars will more than likely shatter. You can put some of the rings on the bottom to keep the jars off of the bottom. You also need at least an inch of water over the top of the jar.
Can you do this with frozen blueberries? If so should I thaw them first or cook a bit longer?
This is awesome I will be making it for my page but I will add other berries
May I ask how long does this keep? 3 days perhaps?
Nice idea. Im gonna do it.
My heart and jaw dropped when i saw all that sugar being poured in there!!😢😂
Forget lemon juice the main ingredient to preserve the jam
Great recipe, thank you.
How long will this last before it goes bad?
Can this be made using frozen blueberry???
How long is the blueberry jam good for?
jimin , NOW YOU GOT JAMS !!!!!
Why do jars need to go in Boiling water?
@The Sweetest Journey, does this work with grapes? It's okay if you don't know, I have blueberries. And second, is the sugar necessary? I don't have any.
I honestly haven't used grapes to make jam, so I wouldn't know if it works well with this recipe. The sugar is there both to sweeten and to help the jam thicken. The only way you might be able to make it without sugar is if you are adding Low or No Sugar Needed Pectin.
@@Thesweetestjourney Thank you very much.
After opening, how long is this good for if kept in fridge?
Congrats u have a new sub :)
How long before it goes bad?
How long can u keep the blueberry jam for in th shelf cause we r going blueberry picking . we jave tried freezing them but when we thaw them they r like mush so we r going to try this instead.
Why is the water canning necessary?
so good
If you are water bath canning the jars have to be submerged
Can you use frozen blueberries?
So gd,yummmmy!!!y it's nt bilberry?it's nt blueberry,it's bilberry jam recipe!pls reply!
What sugar did you use ??
nice
whats the song its so good
ty
if you use copper jam pot, you must put the sugar first
I just made my first Jar but I think I messed up.
could i make peach jam in small batch .the same way you make blueberry jam in small batch. thanks
Why sterilize the jars?
Great
Do I have to boil the Mason jar for longer before and after filling it with the jam if I am using an 800ml Mason Jar?
The boiling is just to sterilize the jars, so you can boil it for the same amount of time, just make sure the whole jar is covered by the water.
Hai I wanna make jam for 250ml x 6 jars . Can you tell me how much berries I might need ?
approximately 69 berries give or take 1.
It has a little bit too much sugar. I went into a diabetic coma when I tasted it. Aside from that it was perfectly fine. The consistency was fine.
Jars need to be covered by 1 -2 inches of water to process, otherwise, I love your video. Thank you.
Thank you!
Do the berries need to be fresh or can you use frozen berries that can be thawed of course..
Yes you can use frozen berries.
just a question, why do you have to place the jars on boiling water?
It sterilizes the jars so that you can store the sealed jars at room temperature.

Thanks for sharing. How long can it be store?
Sealed jars can be stored for up to a year. Once you open them, refrigerate them, and they will last about 3 months.
So for starters you want to add sugar from the beginning and lemon juice. Then make sure the water is over the lid by at least an inch. Your jar did not seal and your video shows it. The lid should be much more difficult to open if sealed properly.
Lovely video 👍👍
Also make sure to wipe off any jam on the jar rims before sealing.
I want more video of this if possible than explain it more that was supop ❤❤❤❤
WOW! I found Jimins Jams!!
Love
eipc music build up to the opening of jam XD
Made jam with 2 cups of blueberries and 1/2cup of sugar, and was able to fill about 6oz of my jar
Is the last step necessary ? And why ?
Boiling the cans of jam is only necessary if you want to store them sealed at room temperature. You can always skip these steps and just store the jam in the refrigerator. 😊
Can I use frozen blackberries
Yes you can, just thaw them beforehand.
✌✌👍thanks for sharing with us.
Sometimes life can be so complicated depending who's behind the camera. But you really make it lookbso simply easy.👍👍
Thank you! 😊
