"We live on the farm where my husband was raised," shares Rita Pischke of Whitemouth, Manitoba. "Whenever we find wild blueberries nearby, I make this gorgeous ruby-red jam. It's also wonderful as a breakfast sauce."
Ingredients
- 4 cups blueberries
- 2 cups raspberries
- 5 cups sugar
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3/4 cup water
- 1 package (1-3/4 ounces) powdered fruit pectin
Directions
- In a large bowl, mash the blueberries. Add raspberries and mash. Stir in sugar and lemon juice. Let stand for 10 minutes. In a small saucepan, bring water and pectin to a boil. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add to fruit mixture; stir for 3 minutes or until sugar is dissolved.
