Winter Spice Blueberry Jam

This recipie comes via Margaret and is a hybrid of recipies found at Blueberry-Recipe.com. It has a distinct spiced flavor to it. When I tasted it I found myself craving winter so I can snuggle up on the couch with a book, this jam on toast, and a cup of tea while snow falls softly outside. (If you are looking for a more simple blueberry recipe Stacy made this recipe and it was yummy. More light and summery in taste.)

Spiced Blueberry Jam
4 cups blueberries
2 tbsp lemon juice
4 cups sugar
1 package fruit pectin
scant 1/4 tsp each of cinnamon, cloves and allspice

Prepare jars* by boiling them for 10 minutes. Crush blueberries and poor into a large pan on the stove. Stir sugar, lemon, and spices into fruit. Mix well and bring to full boil for 5 minutes over high heat; stir constantly.

Pour fruit pectin (I used Certo) into fruit and cointue to boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and skim off foam. Ladle into jars, wipe rims of jam. Turn jars upside down for 5 minutes and then turn upright. Let set for 1 hour.

*I made 12 4 oz jars of jam with this recipe. I did not fill the jars completly and probably could have gotten the mixture into 9 or 10 jars if I had filled them more fully.
