When i read the recipe i was reluctant to use it because of the nutmeg and cinnamon. I was wrong! I made this jam tonight and it is AMAZING!! My house smells like Christmas and i can't get enough of it! Thanks for inspiring my canning endeavors. :D Hi! Great blog!

I'm trying to make my own batch so I don't have to pay $5 for a jar. Hopefully he will like this one! Making it tomorrow, since I already canned some salsa today, and one canning job is my limit for a day. I'm hoping for the best results tomorrow! Blueberry is BY FAR my son’s favorite.

I don't really use instant pectin, so I'm just not sure of the conversion. Michelle, I honestly have no idea. I don’t really use instant pectin, so I’m just not sure of the conversion.

The more you cook the water out, the better chances you have of a good set. My guess would be that you’re not cooking it long enough.
