Aimless Tangents

Blueberries were on sale this week at my local grocery store. So I snagged two 18oz. containers of berries and more freezer jam pectin.

The berries were beautiful.

Everything was done the exact same way as the strawberry jam I made previously. I still think pureed fruit looks kinda gross.

In case you didn’t know, blueberries tend to oxidize and turn brown very fast. The main container of fruit didn’t turn colors but the measuring cup I used, once set aside, was brown in a few minutes.

I ended up with four containers of blueberry jam slightly more full than the strawberry jam containers.

Freezer shot for you: two containers of strawberry left in the freezer and 3 of the blueberry. They will get moved out to the deepfreezer soon.

Part of my breakfast this morning:

I’m not as huge of a fan of the blueberry, though it was tasty. The strawberry seemed to have a better taste to me. Though the blueberry set up more like jam with a stiffer texture, the strawberry was a bit more runny. I’m waiting for strawberries to go on sale again and am also wondering how watermelon freezer jam would do.
