Low Sugar Blueberry Cinnamon Jam

Low Sugar Blueberry Cinnamon Jam

"It makes me think of blueberry muffins... mmmm"

Blueberry jam may sound weird, but it really is amazing, and with a little cinnamon, it smells like fresh baked goods! I picked 9.5 lbs of blueberries last week... HA i know i know... that's A LOT of blueberries, but you know what, they are almost all gone, and they are so super fresh and good!! The other scary part is I probably ate a good 1/2 pound in addition to that while I was out in the fields :)

Now for the recipe, it's super simple to make, and lasts a year.

• Blueberry Jam with Cinnamon (a low sugar recipe)
• 10 cups fresh blueberries (washed and any stems removed)
• 2 cups raw cane sugar
• 2 cups splenda (if you don't want to use splenda use 4 cups raw cane sugar)
• 1 packet sure gel low sugar jam
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup lemon juice

Rinse blueberries and place into a heavy bottom pot (I used a 5 qt pot) and add in 1/4 cup of white sugar mixed with the package of pectin and lemon juice. Slowly bring to a boil while stirring constantly. Once boiling add in splenda and remaining sugar and cinnamon all at once. Keep stirring constantly and bring back to a rolling boil. Boil for one minute and then remove from heat and place into sanitized mason jars (fill up to a 1/2 inch from the top of the jar - this is where a jar funnel comes in super handy) . Carefully wipe off any spills and place lids and rings on the jars. Use your tongs and place filled jars back into the large pot of hot water, bring to a boil and let boil for 10 minutes. Remove jars with the tongs and let dry on a cooling rack undisturbed overnight. Label your jars and give them to all those people you love :)
