christmas blueberry jam

So I have totally been thinking about fall-time and Christmas a lot lately! In that I am super excited for brisk cold air and pumpkin spice latte's. What can I say I like to plan ahead. This summer I learned how to make jam (the hard kind not freezer jam) and I made a bunch so if you are family members you will probly get a jar from me. If you survive then well this can be the start of a new tradition. Really, making jam is not that hard if you want to try for yourself just follow the directions below. Oh and if your looking for a great place to get blueberry's check out my post from last year >>> Larsen Lake Blueberry Farm.
