Step 1:
How to make blueberry jam for five minutes? Prepare the necessary ingredients. Their minimum: blueberries and sugar. We do not need water!
Step 2:
Blueberry berries, sort and remove leaves and any forest debris. Then rinse the berries well in cold water. Put them in a colander and leave them for a while so that all the excess moisture runs off them.
Step 3:
Pour the berries into a spacious bowl and cover with sugar. Trot a little bowl so that the sugar is distributed between the berries most evenly. Pour out all the sugar at once is not necessary. If the berries are sweet, then it may need less than indicated. If necessary, then you can add more. Leave the berries in sugar for a few hours so that they let the juice. In order for this to happen faster, you can go through the berries a little with a spoon, slightly crushing them.
Step 4:
Mix the berries together with the sugar and put everything in a saucepan in which you will cook the jam.
Step 5:
It is best to use an enameled pan. It is not necessary to take aluminum, so that there is no reaction of metal with berry juice. Bring the berries to a boil and stir to dissolve all the sugar. Taste it. If necessary, you can add a little more sugar. Boil the jam, stirring, for 5 minutes. During this time, all the sugar will dissolve, and the tender berries will have time to boil.
Step 6:
Prepare jars for jam. Rinse them well and rinse them. Sterilize the jars in a way that is convenient for you. This can be done in a microwave oven, in an oven or over hot steam. It is enough to simply pour boiling water over the lids and lay them out so that they have time to dry.
Step 7:
Pour the jam into prepared, sterilized dishes and close the lids tightly. Turn the closed jars over and check for tightness. Wrap the jars in a warm blanket and cool completely in this form. Why wrap it in a blanket? This is necessary so that the jam cools down as slowly as possible, thereby catching up in the process.
Step 8:
Store the finished jam in the cellar in a cool place. Have a nice winter treat!
