Ingredients
-
1 small orange
1 lemon
2 cups water
1 cinnamon stick, about 3-inches long (7.5 cm)
2 cups fresh wild blueberries (500 ml) or 2 cups frozen blueberries (500 ml)
2 cups granulated sugar (500 ml)
Preparation
-
Squeeze juice from orange and lemon, including any pulp. Discard seeds and set juice aside. Slice rinds into very thin slices. Place rinds, water and cinnamon in a large stainless steel or enamel saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce heat, cover and boil gently for 25 minutes or until rinds are very tender. Remove and discard cinnamon stick.
Add blueberries and reserved juice; return to a boil, cover and boil gently for 10 minutes.
Add sugar; bring to a boil and boil rapidly, uncovered, until mixture will form a gel, about 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from the heat.
Ladle into sterilized jars and process as directed.
