Blueberry jam

Overview

No matter what the reason is for losing appetite, jam exists as a magical thing and it definitely belongs to the spiritual healing system. Try spreading jam on bread, steamed buns, and cakes. Don’t you like it so much? If you are not careful, your child will just use a spoon to dig out the jam and eat it. You can also add half a spoon when making oats, and add some jam on top of the yogurt to make the yogurt taste less monotonous. Add some to the vegetable and fruit salad to make it more delicious!

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Before you are ready to start making the jam jars, clean them to make sure they are oil-free and then sterilize them. Sterilization can be done in the oven or in boiling water. For detailed instructions, please see the official account: yzmmfood, reply: fruit meal. There are detailed introductions inside. Wash the blueberries, drain the water and pour them into the pot. Do not use an iron pot or aluminum pot to cook the jam. Use stainless steel or ceramic pots that are not easily oxidized after contact with fruit acids. (I’m sorry, choose blueberries. If they are stale, they will be sunken in the middle, so don’t buy them);

   

2. 2 Divide the sugar into two equal portions. Pour half of the sugar in first, stir over medium heat, and stir with a spoon;

   

3. 3 The sugar slowly melts, and the juice in the blueberries comes out. The picture below shows 2 minutes after the fire is turned on;

   

4. 4 Turn to medium heat and continue stirring. Wait until the first sugar added is completely melted, then pour in the remaining sugar;

   

5. 5 After the sugar is completely melted, squeeze in the juice of half a lemon (you can also squeeze it in advance). Use lemon juice to adjust the sweetness and sourness of the jam;

   

6. 6 During the cooking process, there will be foam. Use a fine mesh spoon to skim off the foam. This way, the jam will not be astringent and the color will be nice;

   

7. 7 Just leave out most of it, it doesn’t matter if there is a little less;

   

8. 8 minutes have passed since it was put into the pot and boiled. Turn off the heat. Put some water in a small bowl and add a drop of jam. If the jam melts, it means it is not cooked yet. Turn on the heat and simmer for a while; on the contrary, if it does not melt and remains semi-solidified, it means it is ready. (On the far left, drop in the clear fruit jam and let it melt. After another 2 minutes, add the 2 drops on the right and it will be ready.)

   

9. 9 At this time, you can taste the jam. If it is sweet, you can also add a little lemon juice to taste;

   

10. 10 After the jam is cooked, immediately put it into the sterilized glass bottle while it is hot, then wrap it with a piece of cloth and tighten the bottle cap, and immediately place it upside down on a shelf or table. At this time, the jam is gelling and killing the bacteria on the bottle cap.

    

11. 11 Cool and then place in the refrigerator.
