Blueberry Citrus Jam

Yes, another one of those blueberry recipes again.  I just can’t help it!  It is an abundance and affordable!  Hope you’ll enjoy this recipe because it tastes delicious on top of a whole wheat English Muffin for breakfast.

Blueberry Citrus Jam

Ingredients
Agave – ¾ Cup
Orange Juice – 1 Cup

Fresh Blueberries – 2.0 lb
Orange Peel – 1 Whole Orange
Lemon Juice – ¼ Cup

Procedure
1. Peel Orange with a potato peeler and slice thinly, set aside.
2. Place Agave and Orange Juice in a pan until simmer.
3. Add the Fresh Blueberries, orange peel and Lemon Juice.
4. Cook until jam is thickened to the desire consistency. (I cooked mine approximately 45 minute on low just so the blueberry does not burn).
5. Use a sterilized glass jar (see below), pour in the jam and close the lid tightly.
6. Place the jar back into the hot water and boil for another 10 minutes.
7. Let the jar cool and ready to serve.

*Note: If using the metal lids, make sure the lid pops up after the hot water bath boil. Store at cool area and will last up to 1 year. Once it is opened, last up to 30 days in the refrigerator.

How to Sterilize Your Jar
Place your glass jar and boil with water (approximately 10-15 minutes) just before the jam is ready.
Dry the glass jar with a towel and pour in the jam.
