There are lots of recipes here scattered in past discussions. I pulled up this 1 thread I recalled that has several recipes in it.

And keep in mind that any jelly recipe can be used by just subbing the blueberries for the fruit called for in the recipe.

Hope this helps.

Pick up a Ball Blue Book too. I make blueberry cake with mine, or blueberry pie thickened with Clear Jel.

This one is very good. I haven't made it but I have eaten it! The recipe is from Gina on the Cooking Forum. Definitely use only the 4 1/2 cups of sugar; it's sweet enough. Cranberry Citrus Marmalade ========================================== Ingredients: 1 grapefruit 1 orange 2 1/2 cups water 3 cups fresh cranberries 1 3/4 oz powdered fruit pectin 6 1/2 cup sugar (I only used 4 1/2 cups - that's plenty sweet for me - what say ye Tracey?) Method: Remove peel from 1 grapefruit and 1 orange; scrape excess white membrane from peel. Cut peel into thin strips. In large kettle, combine peel and 2 1/2 cups water; cook, covered, over low heat until tender, 20 minutes. Section grapefruit and orange; chop fruit. Add with 3 cups fresh cranberries to peel; simmer 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Stir in powdered fruit pectin. Bring to boil; stir in sugar. Bring to full rolling boil; boil hard 1 minute stirring constantly. Remove from heat and skim foam. Let stand 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Ladle into hot sterilized jars. Seal. Yield: 4 pints

I don't know about a jam recipe, but Carambolas make a really good drink! A local fruit fancier who has a large, prolific tree, seeds and peels the fruit, whips it in a blender, then freezes the juice after straining. He adds either Splenda or sugar, Lime juice, and water/ice. The resulting drink is delicious!!! Alcohol can be added as desired, but it is yummy by itself. The juice can be frozen for months without any degrading. Lisa

RECIPE: Orange Jalapeno Jelly or Jam

I make citrus jellies all the time and I have found that you can not follow the directions on the surejell or liquid pecton boxes. The only way for the jelly to set is to change the order of the boiling. I add the box of surejell for the first boil ( 2 minute rolling boil ) and then I add the sugar for the second ( 2 minute rolling boil depending on how hot your stove is ). My jellies set once they cool. Paul

LOOKING for: Diabetic jelly & jam recipe

I just made blueberry sugar-free jam. I used Splenda as a sugar-substitute. I knew that commercial pectins wouldn't work to thicken it so I just cooked it until it was thick enough (about 220 degrees on a candy thermometer if you want to check it that way). It took about 30 minutes but came out great. Just remember to cook it down and then let it cool to see how thick it really is. It won't get any thicker when you put it in the jars. I then put it in sterilzed jars and hot water bath processed it for 5 minutes. You have to be really careful when using Splenda, as far as sterilizing, etc. Splenda does not have the anti-bacterial properties that sugar does.

Jon, the blueberry lime jam in the link Dave gave you is really very good - I made two batches earlier this month.

The berries freeze exceptionally well too - I keep a bag in the freezer to my refrigerator where they are handy (as opposed to my real freezer in the basement :)) and toss them into waffles, pancakes, muffins, smoothies - no need to thaw.

I made great blueberry jelly/jam last night. I cooked my berries (sorry I don't recall how many I used, probably 2 quarts, I started with a gallon but they had been heavily munched o:) ) in a saucepan with 1 c. Juicy juice 100% natural grape juice blend (mostly apple juice). I ran it all through the food mill to come out with a perfect 4 cups of juice. Then I followed the Ball No-Sugar-Needed Pectin recipe on the inside of the box of pectin and used 2 c. sugar to sweeten. This turned out perfectly and my husband has already enjoyed it along w/ half a loaf of sourdough. :)I like the no-sugar-needed pectin because I want my jam/jelly to actually taste like the fruit it come from!
