Each year, my mom and I make homemade blueberry jelly. We give these out as gifts and eat it up all year round. Nom nom nom.

You start with blueberries (We use Michigan-raised fruit that we pick up each summer.),

sugar,

and lemon juice.

You mix that all up together in a big saucepan.

Then you bring the mixture to a boil.

Then you add Pectin, which makes it jelly! Bring that to a rolling boil for a minute, stirring constantly, then you’re done!

Meanwhile, don’t forget to boil the jars in a big pan. Then you jar it all up and you’re good to go! (We couldn’t coordinate taking pictures of the pouring/jarring process, since it takes two people.)

This year, we made 41 jars, which is a record!
