I got a welcome surprise of tons and tons of free blueberries from my mom. As good as they are, it’s wrecked havoc on my summer blog schedule. I’m a planner, you see, which means I don’t like surprises.

I have shared several blueberry recipes with you, but couldn’t pass up Blueberry Jalapeno Jam Recipe! Now, you may be intimidated by making jam as I was. Previously, I would not even consider making jelly or jam. This time I had so many blueberries that I couldn’t use them all. Jam was the only solution.

Imagine my surprise to realize how very easy it is to make jams and jellies!!

    Tried this recipe and will double jalapeño next time or maybe chop three together with seeds. Mine came out very mild and I added an extra jalapeño to it. I like the flavor but can only taste a hint of spice.

    1. Please tell me about the pectin,….
      Specifically how much, maybe the brand as well.
      Thank you

    I coincidentally picked 4 cups of huckleberries and after a quick google search for “blueberries and jalapeño jam” I found this. I tweaked it a bit but i think it had to do with my inadequate equipment. Cheap pot on a cheap stove, had to wait a long time and stir a lot to get the consistency right. I also added a tinsie bit more of pectin (don’t know why really) I thought doing this would help it stiffen up faster. In the end it turned out great. Will be shipping some of it out to the in-laws.

    I think it should be very straightforward if you have a nice thick cast iron pot like a LeCrusette or something like that and a nice gas stove with evenly distributed heat.
