Hi--I would appreciate very much a recipe for good blueberry jam. My ideal recipe would be low sugar, pectin free, noncooked and to be stored in the freezer. Is this even possible?

Thanks!:bouquet

Pectin isnt needed for blueberry jellies and jams. 😄👍 I have tried making blueberry syrup but it has always turned into jelly for me!

My favorite recipe is Blueberry Bonanza from Ball Complete Book of Canning. Its not a low sugar recipe though.

I made an unsweetened blueberry jam but I dont have the recipe anymore. It froze beautifully.

I'm curious about blueberry chia jam. I have a little chia in my smoothie every day because it helps with hydration. Maybe mixing up a blueberry chia jam would make smoothie prep easier? https://colleenchristensennutrition.com/no-sugar-added-blueberry-jam/
