I picked blueberries for 2 hours, cleaned stems for another hour. Thought the recipe was different from any other canning I'd done due to very short cooking time and very long processing time but I went with it. The syrup was VERY thin and runny, the recipe neglected to inform of amount of air/fill space to leave at the top so I had to guess. Thus almost none of the jars sealed properly. STAY AWAY FROM THIS ONE! -
The taste here is excellent - very fresh - the blueberries really came through. My only problem was getting it to thicken properly. I ended up having to add cornstarch to get a thick consistency. I didn't can mine - I made it to use right away. -
I omitted the lemon rind slices and opted for lemon zest instead. I also added 1/2 give or take of cornstarch. Everyone that tried it enjoyed it. Good recipie to practice with if you new to canning.
