Blueberry Jamming

I've made a few more batches of strawberry jam since blogging about making the first batch of the season at Struan Farm last week.

While my homemade strawberry jam is the favourite by far with both our farmstay guests and grandchildren (I've had guests request a spare jar to take home), I actually prefer my blueberry jam--it's not quite as sweet. It takes a bit more time and effort to make, since the recipe calls for both finely diced apples and lemon juice in addition to blueberries and sugar. It also only makes three jars vs. five with the strawberry.

 

But it's definitely worth the effort! One more batch to make of this (John and I aren't big toast eaters) and then I'm back to making more strawberry to meet the demand.
