Ingredients
  

  • 5 cups blueberries
  • 5¼ cups granulated white sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
  • One 1.75-ounce package regular powdered fruit pectin (can sub 6 tablespoons classic powdered fruit pectin)
  • ¾ cup water
  • Seven ½-pint freezer containers

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, use a potato masher to crush the blueberries until you can measure out 3 cups of mashed blueberries. Toss anything beyond the 3 cups.
  • Combine the 3 cups of mashed berries, sugar, cinnamon and lemon zest. Let it stand for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. In a small saucepan, combine the pectin and water. Bring to boiling over high heat; boil 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and add to the blueberry mixture; stir about 3 minutes or until the sugar dissolves and the mixture is no longer grainy.
  • Ladle into half-pint freezer containers, leaving a ½-inch headspace. Seal and label. Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours or until set. Store up to 3 weeks in the fridge or for up to 1 year in the freezer.
