Return to a full rolling boil. Boil and stir for 1 full minute. , Remove from the heat; skim off foam. Stir in crystallized and ground ginger. Ladle hot mixture into 4 hot sterilized half-pint jars, leaving 1/4-in. headspace. Remove air bubbles; wipe rims. Center lids on jars; screw on bands until fingertip tight. Process for 10 minutes in a boiling-water canner.

Steps:

• In a large bowl mix blueberries and "Dr. Oetker's Super Gelling Sugar 3:1".
• Add 2 tablespoons of lime juice and the freshly grated ginger. Prick the berries with a fork, but don't mash them.
• Let stand this mixture for 2 hours, mixing from time to time and pricking more berries if needed. The sugar will not dissolved completely during that time, but there should be some fluid.
• Add the fresh sage leaves and transfer to a suited pot and bring to a boil over medium high heat stirring all the time.
• Let cook for 4 minutes, stirring constantly. Then remove from heat and remove sage leaves.
• Add 2 tablespoons of lime juice. If you want you can mash now the berries as you would like them in your jam.
• Fill into twist off preserving jars and close jars. Let stand for 1 minute and then turn up side down. Let stand for 10 minutes and turn over again. Let cool completely.
• NOTE on "Dr. Oetker's Super Gelling Sugar 3:1". Dr. Oetker is a well known brand in Germany. There are several gelling sugars available. The "3:1" super gelling sugar already contains pectin and you only need 1/3 of sugar. If you can't get it, you could also use Dr. Oetker's 2:1 super gelling sugar.
• NOTE on sage leaves: I use fresh sprigs of sage, which make about 35 leaves. I bind the sprigs together, so that they can easily be removed. Or bead the leaves on a suited twine.

Steps:

• Submerge 6 empty half-pint jars on a rack in a large pot of water. Cover and bring to a rolling boil, then reduce heat to low to keep jars warm until ready to fill.
• Tumble blueberries and lemon zest and juice into a wide, nonreactive 8-quart pot. Whisk together sugar and pectin in a small bowl, then stir into pot until combined.
• Bring to a vigorous boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-high; cook, stirring frequently and adjusting heat as needed to maintain a gentle boil, until volume has reduced by at least 1/3, 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in thyme after 18 minutes of cooking. Remove pot from heat and check for set.
• Working with one jar at a time, remove empty jars from canning pot. Using a wide-mouth funnel, carefully ladle jam into jars, leaving 1/2 inch for headspace. Use a clean wooden chopstick to work air bubbles out of jars. Check headspace again and add more jam if necessary to bring to 1/2 inch from the top.
• Wipe jar rims, apply lids and bands (not too tightly), and return jars to canning pot; cover pot and return water to a rolling boil. Process for 10 minutes. Turn off heat, remove pot lid, and let jars stand in the cooling water 5 minutes to help ensure a good vacuum seal.
• Move jars to a folded kitchen towel or wooden cutting board to cool completely before checking seals. Any unsealed jars should be refrigerated and eaten promptly. Store sealed jars in a cool, dark place. They are shelf-stable at least 1 year.

Steps:

• If canning the jam, prepare your canning jars and lids.
• Pulse blueberries in blender or food processor until coarsely crushed. Work in batches if necessary. You should have about 6 cups.

• Grate orange zest and reserve. Squeeze orange into a measuring cup; add water to bring up to 1/2 cup.
• Combine blueberries, orange juice and zest, grated ginger, ground ginger and sugar-pectin mixture in a heavy pot. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly.
• Dump in remaining sugar all at once. Add butter and stir well. Bring back to a boil, then cook 1 minute. Remove from heat and skim off any foam on the surface.

Fold side of dough without toppings up and over filling and gently press to seal. Using a bench scraper or a knife, cut biscuits into 12 portions. Arrange portions as they were cut in prepared pan.
