Ingredients
  

  • 2 pints Fresh Blueberries
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 2 tablespoons Powdered Pectin
  • Fresh Lemon Juice From half a small lemon

Instructions
 

  • In a small sauce pan, add the blueberries and water.
  • Cook on medium heat for about 5 minutes or until mixture starts to boil.
  • Stir and crush the berries with a wooden spoon.
  • Cook for another 5 minutes until all the berries have lost their shape. Remove from heat.
  • Put a small strainer over a large glass measuring cup and let the juice strain through.
  • Use a spoon to help make sure all the juice goes into the cup. Discard solids or reserve for something else. You should have a cup or more of blueberry liquid.
  • Put the juice back in the pan with the sugar, pectin and lemon juice.
  • Cook on medium heat until mixture comes to a simmer.
  • Simmer for a few more minutes until jelly starts to thicken. More pectin can be added if you like a thicker consistency.
  • Pour jelly into a glass jar and cool for half an hour.
  • Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
