You are In the Right
Place and At the Right
Time for Blueberries
If you like blueberries you are
in the right place at the right
time. A short trip out of Nome
will bring you to a blueberry
patch, according to Jean Burand,
home demonstration agent with
the Cooperative Extension Serv
ice, University of Alaska.
She says, “blueberries are easy
to can or freeze, with or without
sugar, so plan to find a patch and
collect some of nature’s bounty.”
If you’re worried about the hot
work involved, don’t. Miss Burand
says you can make uncooked jam
from blueberries that will taste
better and have more vitamins
than cooked jam. This is one of
those rare cases where the easy
way is the best way too. Here’s
the way to do it accordJng to the
specialist:
All you need is three cup? of
crushed blueberries, five cups of
sugar, one package of powdered
pectin and one cup of water.
Sort and wash the berries, drain
and crush, and mix with the sugar.
Let them stand for about 20 min
utes, stirring occasionally.
Next, dissolve the pectin in the
water, bring to a boil and boil
for one minute. Add this solution
to the fruit and sugar mixture,
and stir for two minutes.
Then, ladle the jam into jelly
glasses or freezer containers, leav
ing half an inch of space at the
top. Cover the containers and let
them stand for 24 to 48 hours, or
until the jam has set. Cover with
about an eighth of an inch of hot
paraffin.
This will fill about nine glasses
of the six ounce size.
Uncooked jam should be kept in
a refrigerator or freezer. They
will keep for several months in
a refrigerator, and up to a yeai
in a freezer.
