- Sort through the berries to pick out any forest debris and spoiled ones, then tip the blueberries into a sieve and rinse them well under running water. Spread them on a clean, dry towel and let them dry a little, then transfer them to an enameled pot of the right size. Add enough water to the blueberries — you may need a little more or a little less; it should just cover the berries. Set the pot over high heat and bring to a boil, then reduce to medium and cook the berries until soft (5–10 minutes is plenty). Take the pot off the heat and let it stand at room temperature for 8 hours. After that, strain the juice through a fine sieve or several layers of cheesecloth, squeezing the blueberry pulp well. Measure how much juice you have and add sugar at a 1:1 ratio — 1 kilogram of sugar for every 1 liter of juice. Set the pot over high heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly so all the sugar crystals dissolve. Once it boils, cook the jelly over low heat until it reaches the consistency you want. Add tartaric acid at the rate of 1 teaspoon per 1 kilogram of sugar, stir well, and cook the jelly for another 3 minutes, then take it off the heat. Ladle the jelly into prepared sterilized jars and seal with sterilized lids. Leave them upside down to cool for a day, covering them with something warm. Once cooled, move the jars to a cellar or other storage spot. Enjoy!
