Suddenly, it was blueberry season! Oh, you know what that means. You know the ole' saying- when the fresh local juicy blueberries are ready, purchase a large quantity to freeze and also to prepare
Blueberry Freezer Jam! That was on my agenda the middle of last week.
On Blueberry Day 1- A large quantity were triple rinsed in cold water, drained in a colander and then packaged in freezer bags.

Packaged, labelled & ready
to be placed on our freezer! |
On Blueberry Day 2- That was
Blueberry Freezer Jam Day! This year I prepared 2 batches- each batch was prepared separately. All of the clean utensils, freezer containers and ingredients were taken out and I started in. CERTO is the pectin I use- it is a liquid pectin. The directions are in the CERTO box.
Follow directions exactly! No shortcuts here!
After Freezer Jams are prepared and placed in the containers with the lids snapped on and labelled, the containers sit on a table
undisturbed for 24 hours. Then, they are placed in the freezer until needed. Taking a container out and placing in the fridge is easy enough and it is ready to enjoy on toast, English Muffins or as an addition to plain Yummy Yogurt.

It's amazing how time
just flies by! I had intended to post this last week. The week just went in a
flash! We have also been enjoying fresh local blueberries in cereal, in fruit salads and yes, there was baking going on, too. That is for other posts. :)
Enjoy the local fresh fruit!
Yummy!
