Yum, yum, YUM! This is such a wonderful tasting jam! I made exactly as stated except that I doubled the recipe. Made 7 1/2 pints. Thanks Sharon! I'll be making this jam again.

This recipe was my first attempt at making jam and I love it! I'm not even a blueberry fan but I think the lime juice cuts the sweetness of the berries and just adds a great contrast to the taste. This was so easy that I've moved on to Apple Butter and Salsa. Looking for a peach jam recipe right now as the peaches are just coming into the produce stands here!

I have made this jam for years. It is a family favorite. My niece asked me to teach her to can just so she could make this! If you don't have fresh lime, use bottled and don't worry about the zest. It's a never-fail recipe. Have fun!

I love this recipe, but I did change it up a bit to use less sugar. I basically merged the recipe with the recipe in the "Ball Fruit Jell No Sugar Needed Pectin" box. I used 5 cups of mushed blueberries, 1 TBS lime zest, 2 TBS lime juice, 3 TBS more lime juice plus enough apple juice concentrate (the frozen kind, thawed) to make 1 cup liquid, 1 package of No Sugar Needed Pectin, 1/3 cup maple syrup, 1/3 cup white sugar. I cooked the jam and processed it according to the directions in the pectin box. I haven't opened a jar so I can't vouch for the texture yet, but I licked the spoon after I had my jars filled and the mixture is delicious!
