BLUEBERRY-LIME JAM

4 1/2 C crushed fresh blueberries (approx 6 C whole )
1 Tbsp lime zest
1/3 C fresh lime juice
7 C sugar
1 bottle or package (2 pouches) Certo (pectin product)

Wash and drain blueberries. Crush in large bowl with a potato
masher or buzz in a food processor to produce the required 4 1/2
cups.

In a large pan place berries, lime peel, lime juice and sugar,
mixing well. Bring to boil, stirring until the sugar is dissolved,
then bring mixture to a full rolling boil. Boil hard for one minute.
Remove from the heat and stir in the liquid pectin, stirring a few
minutes to cool slightly.

Carefully ladle into hot sterilized jars. Leave approx 1/4 inch
head space if sealing with paraffin wax. Or seal with jar lids.

Yield: approx five 12 ounce jars.
