How to make low sugar blueberry jam recipe. This is a canning recipe, but you can also freeze the jam to preserve it.
This blueberry jam recipe is easy to make at home. It's a good beginner recipe even if you've never canned. You can also freeze the jam in freezer containers up to a year.
This is a low sugar blueberry jam recipe made with low sugar Sure Jell. You can not use regular pectin in this recipe or it will not set up. I have a lot more information about pectin and sugar in my low sugar blueberry jam recipe post.
We eat blueberry jam on biscuits and toast. I also add it to my homemade Greek yogurt to flavor it.

Recipe details
Ingredients
- 6½ c. chopped fresh blueberries
- 4½ c. granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
- 1 box powdered pectin (low sugar variety)
Instructions
- Sterilize your jars and clean all of your supplies.
- In a large pot, place chopped blueberries, 1/4 cup sugar, and the lemon juice. Bring to a boil, stirring frequently. Add the rest of the sugar and return to a boil. Let boil for 1 minute and then remove from heat.
- Ladle the blueberry jam recipe for canning into clean and sterilized jars. Use a bubble popper around the jar to remove air bubbles. Wipe the top clean.
- Place the lids on the jars and put on rings. Tighten rings fingertip tight.
- Process the Sure Jell low sugar blueberry jam recipe in a water bath for 10 minutes. Start the timer once the water starts boiling.
- Remove jars from the water using a jar lifter. Then set on a towel or other heat proof surface. Let sit undisturbed for 24 hours.
- After 24 hours, test the seals. If one did not seal, either process it again or store it in the freezer or put in the fridge to enjoy right away.
