| I'm looking at a recipe in my file that I have copied for Blueberry Peach Jam. I thought I had made it before but the amount of sugar seems excessive, almost 1 cup per jar of yield!
The ingredients are: 3 C. blueberries
Has anyone else made this recipe or would some of you more experienced canners care to give an opinion?
TIA jude |

| Your recipe seems pretty much inline with other pectin recipes. I made black raspberry jam yesterday and it was 6 1/2 cups of sugar and 5 cups of mashed fruit. Here a recipe from my files that is a longer cook (no pectin) for something similar. Blueberry, Peach, Frangelico Jam CF Combo (Lpink and Annie) Well, it started as a sauce, and Nancy (wizardnm) posted it. Lpinkmountain and I turned it into jam at our "jamming weekend", so here's the updated jam recipe. LOL Just can't leave well enough alone, you know, we added the lemon zest, removed a cup of water and used a cheaper hazelnut liquor. It's yummy, though. 2 cups blueberries or raspberries Put all ingredients in a pan except Frangelico. Cook on high until it boils, then simmer 25 minutes or until thick. Add Frangelico, cook 5 more minutes, ladle into jars, 1/2 inch headspace. BWB 10 minutes. Nancy |

| Thanks, Nancy. I made the Frangelico (saucy)one on Sunday but still had good SC peaches so I decided to make a different one. I'm pretty sure I made it last year. It will be interesting to see how it sets up. I didn't realize the package of pectin was only a half package but I just went ahead with it. Tastes wonderful....and sweet! jude |
