As I stated earlier I went blueberry picking with my husband and friends. I picked fifteen pounds of blueberries. We ate as many as we could fresh, but I wanted to put some by to use in muffins and pie. Fortunately the upick site has a whole section on canning blueberries.
I gathered my equipment, steam sterilized the jars and started lightly packing the jars with blueberries. The option I chose was to can them in a light syrup. I used my steam canner for both sterilizing the jars and processing them.
I ended up with a good supply of canned berries and I decided to use the rest for jam, but that’s another post.
Please note that I haven’t given explicit instructions on canning. It’s much safer for you to learn from an experienced canner, your local extension office, or a reliable book (such as the Ball Blue books).
God bless,
