What’s the trick to great tasting jam?
We always suggest using farm fresh produce that’s in season for your recipes. This is a simple recipe, you can customize it to make it sweeter or more tart. I have even added vanilla for a twist and it’s so good!
Jam is great on pancakes, toast, or ice cream!
We love this recipe over pancakes as a syrup alternative. It’s so good and my kids always loved peanut butter and jelly pancakes when they were little. Topped with some fresh whipped cream, this is a sweet treat! The lemon really brings out the flavors of the blueberries, making this blueberry lemon jam recipe one of our favorites.
Why water bath canning?
We have tried a few other canning techniques for different preservations we do. For canning jam, we make small batches. So the Instant Pot heats very well and seals the jars with little effort. If you want to learn more about water bath canning in the Instant Pot, we love this tutorial.
Always use new sealing lids, they are one time use only. You can reuse the jars and rings next time.
