    1. Put the blueberries and water in a pan and stir over a low heat until the juices run. Add the sugar and spices and stir over a low heat until the sugar has dissolved completely. Boil steadily without stirring, until setting point is reached. To tell when setting point has been reached, remove the pan from the heat and put a little jam on a chilled saucer. As it cools, the jam will begin to set and will wrinkle slightly when you draw your finger through it. If using a sugar thermometer it will read 220°F/105°C. method tip
    2. Spoon into hot sterilised jars, seal and label method tip
    3. WHEN MAKING JAMS: Jars must be clean and warm before filling them to the brim to allow for shrinkage. Wash the jars in hot soapy water, rinse well and put in a low oven to dry and become warm. Stand the jars on folded newspaper to prevent cracking when the hot mixture is poured in. Wipe the outside of the filled jars and cover the surface of the jam with waxed circles. Seal tightly with lids or transparent covers and elastic bands. This must be done while the jam is hot not warm, to prevent mould forming. Label and store in a cool, dry place.
