What a delicious and easy jam recipe!
Ingredients
- 5 cups blueberries

- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
- One 1.75-ounce package regular powdered fruit pectin (can sub 6 tablespoons classic powdered fruit pectin)

Instructions
- In a large bowl, use a potato masher to crush the blueberries until you can measure out 3 cups of mashed blueberries. Toss anything beyond the 3 cups.

Bring to boiling over high heat; boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add to the blueberry mixture; stir about 3 minutes or until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is no longer grainy.
