Blueberry Jam

[YWPMI]

Easy Peasy.. all you need is time, and....

4 cups washed Blueberries (can use any berry - just cut the big ones to pea size)
2 cups sugar
1 tst lemon juice.
1 tbst cinnamon (optional)

mix all together then:
Boil in pan on medium heat on stove until jam will cleanly separate when you draw the spoon or spatula through it. Pour into sterilized glass jar (put a metal spoon in the jar first to keep the heat from breaking the glass. The spoon will absorb the heat.)

I forgot... when you cook it down, you're looking for the liquid to thicken so that when you draw the spatula through, you can see how thick it is. not too thick. but like a maple syrupy thick. or better yet, honey. (I wanted to edit my original post, but they don't give us a way, once someone comments on it.
