My mother-in-law has 5 large blueberry bushes and every year she shares her abundance with us. This year my freezer was full when I brought the berries home so I pulled out my favorite canning cookbook.
I wanted to put the berries up whole so I would be able to use them in any recipe in the future. Sure enough there were instructions in the book on canning the berries whole.
I pulled out all the jars and got them washed up.
Then I got out
the other tools I would need.
and heated the lids and bands.
Then I cooked the berries...
heating them all the way through.
Using the funnel I slowly...
poured the berries through the funnel into the jars.
Then I had to remove the air from the jars...
and wipe the rims.
Next I attached the lid and band and returned the jars to the canner for processing.
I carefully removed the jars from the canner and set them on a cooling rack.
The next day I had 9 jars of blueberries ready to be used in any recipe that looks good.
Now to search my cookbooks for some yummy blueberry recipes.
