-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 C Blueberries -- rinsed and drained
1/2 C Water
3 C Sugar

Thaw berries if frozen. Wash and pick over the blueberries. Measure out
the berries into a heavy pot.

Once the bottom of the pot is covered, crush the berries in the bottom
layer. Add the remaining blueberries.

Add 1/2 cup water, and simmer the blueberries until they are soft. When
the fruit is soft, add the sugar and stir until the sugar is completely
dissolved.

Bring the mixture to a boil continuing to stir, making sure no sticking
occurs. Reduce the heat and cook, uncovered over low heat until a small
amount dropped on a plate will stay in place.

Place in hot sterilized jars.

Makes approximately 6 cups.

NOTES : This makes a jam that has less sugar and more flavor than jams
made with added pectin.
