It was raining on Tuesday here in Bath, Maine so I decided to make blueberry jam for Kismet Inn Bed and Breakfast's guest since I have only one more bottle left. I try to add a different taste to the jams I make so it doesn't have the generic taste of all the jams that are made out there.
The ingredients are:
1. 7 pounds of Blueberry - wild Maine blueberries which are MOFGA certified (Maine organic farmers gardeners association)
2. 3 pounds Sugar
3. 1 cup full cardamom coarsely grounded with mortar and pastel, the peel/skin removed.
4. 2 Tablespoon Arrowroot
Put the blueberries in a good pot such as Le Creuset add the sugar - absolutely no water. Once the sugar has melted there will be plenty of juice, take a bowl pour some of the juice into the bowl mix the arrow root then pour it back in the pot, add the cardamom. Let it cook on medium heat for 20 minutes.
Sterilize the jars by putting them in a pot and boiling the water ... remove one jar at a time, pour the blueberry jam then put the lid on tighten it and store it.
