Cinnamon Blueberry Jam Recipe

Cinnamon Blueberry Jam RecipePhoto by: Taste of Home Cinnamon Blueberry Jam Recipe Rating 5

Watching my grandmother can hundreds of jars of tomatoes, peaches and pears inspired me to first try making jams and jellies myself. I can remember, as a girl, going down into her cellar—all those jars on the shelves gave me such a warm homey feeling! This jam is one my family enjoys on warm homemade corn or blueberry muffins. Friends who try it like it, too. The cinnamon's a bit of a surprise. Over the years, I've lived in town and out of town, and my husband and I both prefer here in the country. We are the parents of three children, including a son, 17, who's still at home.

You wouldn't think such a small amount of cinnamon and cloves would give this jam much flavor, but it's just what made it stand out among other blueberry jam recipes. I just love this jam! Only wish it made more than four half pints. Next time I'll make a double batch.

Can you substitute the boxed fruit pectin in this recipe? If so, what's the conversion?

I've been making this jam for years....every Christmas season! I wouldn't change a thing in the recipe. I give jars of this as gifts and I get only rave reviews!
