Blueberry Maple Syrup Jam

This jam substitutes maple syrup for refined sugar to give a blueberry jam with hints of maple - it's just missing the pancakes.

Equipment

Beyond standard kitchen equipment, the following items are also required or helpful:

• Potato masher

• 24 qt. dutch oven

• Thermometer

• Two 16 fl. oz. (pint) jam jars for this recipe

• Pot deep enough to cover jars with water

• Canning funnel

• Canning tongs for jars

• Bamboo skewer or chop stick

Ingredients

Normally, the refined sugar to blueberry ratio is about 1 cup sugar to 1 pound berries (237 ml to 0.45 kg or 0.20 kg to 0.45 kg for those that are gravimetrically inclined). However, we will substitute one cup of (real) maple syrup for each cup of refined sugar.

Note that the substitution necessitates the use of no or no-sugar needed pectin.
