We went blueberry picking today

So now I have a TON of fresh berries. I need a blueberry muffin recipe and also I need a recipe for blueberry jam. I have NEVER made jam before so any tips would be appreciated!

TIA!

I JUST posted about a blueberry muffin recipe that I tried. It was totally awesome. The recipe is HERE.

Earlier in the summer, I bought a 20lb bulk order of blueberries, so I know the predicament you're in!

A recipe that I'm hoping to try comes from The Pioneer Woman's website for individual cobblers. She made a raspberry version, but she said it would work great with blueberries as well. That recipe is HERE.

As for a recipe for jam, www.pickyourown.org is a great resource. I just used that for making strawberry jam earlier in the year. HERE's the direct link for blueberry jam, if you want. Good luck!

You can also freeze them on a cookie sheet and then keep them in a bag to make muffins, smoothies etc later.

I'm going to! Use some now....make a BUNCH of blueberry muffins and then freeze them....bringing a few out at a time to thaw and eat! The jam will be for Christmas presents!

We go blueberry picking every year and love it! We usually end up just freezing them and then making awesome blueberry icecream sauce --

1/2 to 1 C water (depends on if you like thick or thin sauce)
2 C Blueberries
1/2 C sugar
1 to 2 tbls corn starch (to thicken)
1 to 2 tsp lemon juice
dash of vanilla

-- keep out 1/4 of the blueberries until the end
-- mix everything else except reserved blueberries and vanilla in a pan and bring to a simmer (stir super frequently)-- after it is nice and thick remove from heat and add in blueberries and vanilla -- let cool and then serve over ice cream for a wonderful treat.

not jam or muffins, but I made a blueberry strata for breakfast when my inlaws were here last weekend. it was to die for, with eggs, bread, swiss cheese, cottage cheese, and yogurt on the side when I served it.
