We finished 6 batches of blueberry products the other day, when I remembered, Clear-Jel! I had bought it for making pie fillings for the mini cheesecake. Oh, no, we have to pick more berries! So off to Blueberry Lane for another 3.5 pounds of berries.45 minutes of picking & back home for lunch.
Then to work. Blanch the berries,drain & keep warm. Mix Clear-Jel and sugar. Boil water with food coloring , add Clear-Jel sugar to water, bring to boil & simmer 1 minute. Did i do that? Nooooooo,I dumped it all together and when it came to a boil it started to thicken.
So we quickly canned it before we were unable to pour it.I’ll know better next time, but it still tastes pretty good. Of course you know when I say we , that means Momma doing most of the picking and getting jars ready.
Only 4 pints! Good thing.
