confused on the calorie count. the nutritional information says 56 but right below the picture it says 23 — so is the picture only counting on 1/2 a serving? seems a little misleading.
How is this preserved? Can it be canned in a water bath canner or does it need to be frozen?
It’s 56 servings…
Hi bluebird,

How long can you keep this in the refrigerator?
This recipe is good for three weeks in the refrigerator.
i used strawberries instead of blueberries! yum… how long does it take to set?
What size is a package of powdered pectin?
For three weeks, when stored in the refrigerator.
Let the jam set for at least 2 hours in the refrigerator.
This is preserved with the pectin for up to 3 weeks. To preserve for longer, freeze for up to 6 months
How much pectin should I use if I buy my pectin in bulk?
It is acidic, seems like you could safely can it in a water bath. Don’t know how the heat would affect the consistency.
You will need about 1.75 oz or 3½ tablespoons.
Hi, Suzanne! You can use more pectin to make it thicker.
How can I make it a little bit thicker?
It is mostly for sweetness. The honey is a great natural sweetener and is a great replacement for sugar in jams and preserves. However, you can try eliminating it altogether and/or trying another sweetener in its place.
Is the honey for consistency or sweetness? Hubby wants to eliminate sugar as much as possible. Yesterday I just blended the blueberries with nothing added.
How long does this spread stay fresh and usable?
