Canning blueberries is so easy and you can do it without adding any sugar! No pressure canner is needed, just a simple water bath will seal your jars right up. Come join me while I can some blueberries.

10 min all you need to can/boil these berries, also only 5 min is needed once the canning time is up before removing the jars. NEVER TIP THE JARS with the jar lifter when removing from the hot water it could cause a seal to not seal by tipping the jars. The water will be fine on top of the lid, once cooled and checked the next day the water can then be removed. Or place a dry towel over the jars a while after removed from water bath if it makes you feel better but not needed.

Get some Clear Jel, to have on hand, I've had a few not thicken as well as they should, especially freezer jam, you just add a little and stir or shake well to see how much it thickens. It is made for pie filling, I canned 2 batches of apple pie filling last year. Must be good, hub has been using it as jam on his toast. That is not what I made it for. He can use the chunky apple butter and add some Apple pie spices. I do pies instead of cake, as I can control the sugar better, so it doesn't run my BS up. Like my mom use to say you can always add, but not subtract a spice or salt.

I forgot to comment on something you did that I have not seen anyone else do. You covered your jars once they were set out to cool off. Being new to canning, I had read that once the canning process is finished and the jars are removed from the canner they are to be placed where there are no drafts. With A/C or heat blowing off and on day and night, I thought, where in the world would that be? I've not watched tons of canning videos but quite a few and never saw one person cover their jars---but then I saw you cover the jars to protect from draft. So simple. Thanks so much for including that solution for a non-drafty spot to set your jars. Jesus bless.
