Blueberry Lime Jam In Bread Machine Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Place all ingredients in medium bowl and stir together. Transfer to a bread machine pan with kneading paddle. Set on Jam cycle and start according to machine.
• 2. Scrape the sides of pan 5 to 10 minutes into the cycle. Do this about two times to make sure ingredients are blended. Continue 5-6 minutes and select Start/Stop button. Scrap down mixture and hit Bake cycle. Hit start and let it run until display says 0:00. Press Start/Stop.
• 3. With oven mits, transfer to clean jars using wide mouth funnel or 1/4 c measuring cup. Let cool then cover and refrigerate up to 4-6 weeks or can jars in a water bath and store once cool (overnight).
• 4. Notes: This will cook approx 5 minutes past what your "bake" cycle is on your machine.
• 5. For those without booklet or not sure of time, this came from my booklet for my Sunbeam Bread Maker. Select Basic setting. Press the Start, Stop button and allow to mix for 5-6 minutes, scraping down the sides of the pan. Press the Start Stop button again to cancel. Select Bake setting and press Start Stop. I have used Basic on this. Let cycle continue until it signals and displays 0:00, then press Start Stop. Using hot pads, remove the pan and pour jam into containers, cover and refrigerate to set. Makes 3 cups. (I just use my own way of canning with a hot water bath, but if seals are new, you can do it this way and just invert the jars when lids are placed on and screwed on (not super tight).

Steps:

• Combine the blueberries, sugar, lime zest, 3 tablespoons lime juice and the salt in a medium saucepan or Dutch oven. Toss well and let stand until the sugar dissolves and the blueberries begin to release their juices, about 15 minutes.
• Bring the mixture to a rapid simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to maintain a low simmer; cook, stirring often and skimming off any foam, until the blueberries are tender and the juices thicken, about 35 minutes. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon lime juice. Remove from the heat and let the jam cool to room temperature, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour.
• Transfer the jam to a jar or other airtight container. Refrigerate until cold and fully jelled, 3 to 4 hours. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Place all ingredients in medium bowl and stir to combine. Transfer to bread machine pan fitted with the kneading paddle. Set on Jam cycle and start.
• Scrape the sides of the pan 5 and 10 minutes into the cycle.
• Transfer the jam to clean jars. Let cool, then cover and refrigerate. Keeps refrigerated 4 to 6 weeks.

Steps:

• Crush blueberries one layer at a time.
• Combine crushed blueberries and pectin in a large saucepot.
• Bring to a boil, stirring frequently.
• Add sugar, stirring until dissolved.
• Stir in grated lime peel and lime juice.
• Return to a rolling boil.
• Boil hard 1 minute, stirring constantly.
• remove from heat.
• Skim foam if necessary.
• Ladle hot jam into hot jars, leaving 1/4-inch headspace.
• Adjust two-piece caps.
• Process 15 minutes in a boiling water canner.
• Yield: about 6 half-pints.

Steps:

• Wash your berries and pit your cherries! Hey, that rhymes!
• I use organic dried cane sugar or sucanat for my sweetener, but regular sugar will do fine too.
• Wash your lime and roll it under your hand on the counter top to help it release more juice. You can also put it in the microwave for about 30 seconds or so, then roll it.
• Juice the lime. Sure you can use juice from a bottle, but fresh makes a difference. Plus you get real lime zest. Lime zest is hard to find in the spice section, at least around here.
• Zest the lime until you get at least a teaspoon. I also added a few thin strips of lime peel (try not to get much pith -the white part-) because I love candied citrus peel.
• Put into your pan in order, sugar, pectin, berries, then lime. The breadmaker commandments say it matters. I didn't do it that way because I am a rebel and it turned out fine.
• Put your bowl into the breadmaker. Turn it to the jam setting. Let her rip! Check it at about 5 minutes in then maybe 5 minutes later, just to make sure nothing is sticking to the side. Other than that, it's like magic and does it without your input.
• Go for a run, watch an episode of your favorite TV drama, or chill for about 90 minutes.
• When your jam is done, open the bread machine and let it cool for quite awhile because hot fruit burns are NASTY!

Steps:

• Prepare four 1/2-pint jars: Wash jars, lids and rings in hot, soapy water and rinse well. Place jars in a 200-degree oven until needed. Put lids in a pan of boiling water, and cover until needed.
• Place a rack in the bottom of a large stockpot or canning bath. (Or put down a layer of lid rings.) Add enough water to cover jars by 2 to 3 inches (do not put jars in yet) and bring to a boil, then reduce heat. The water will need to be at about 180 degrees - a whispering boil - when jars are added for processing. Place two small saucers in freezer.
• In a large saucepan, gently heat berries with 1/2 cup water until they burst their skins. Remove pan from heat, let cool slightly, and run berries through the coarse blade of a food mill.
• Return purée to pan. Add sugar, lemon juice and cinnamon stick. Cook at a full boil, stirring constantly, until a gel set is achieved, 8 to 10 minutes; mixture will look jammy. To test, drop a teaspoon of the mixture onto a chilled saucer. Put in freezer for 1 minute. Push your finger through jam. If surface wrinkles, it is ready. (If not, cook a few minutes more and repeat with second saucer.) Discard cinnamon stick. Stir in lime juice and zest.
• Ladle hot jam into jars, leaving 1/4-inch head space to allow contents to expand. Run a skewer or other thin tool around the jars' inside edges to release bubbles or air pockets. Wipe rims clean with a damp paper towel, put flat lids in place, and screw on rings just until tight.
• Using a jar lifter or tongs, lower sealed jars into water bath. Cover and rapidly bring water to a full rolling boil. Once water is boiling, boil jars for 10 more minutes.
• Turn off heat and remove jars from water bath. Place on a cutting board or folded dish towel and leave overnight.
• The next morning, verify that jars have sealed. Remove ring and press on center of lid. If the lid moves, or if the "button" in the center flexes, the seal has failed to set. The jam is still safe to eat, but it is not suitable for shelf storage; put it in the refrigerator and use it first. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place for up to 1 year. Refrigerate after opening.
