BLUEBERRY JAM

BLUEBERRY JAM (tastes of home magazine)
Good for diabetics because there is no sugar added

Ingredients
1/3 cup thawed apple juice concentrate
1 envelope plain gelatin
5 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Directions
Pour the apple juice concentrate into a saucepan; sprinkle with gelatin and allow to soften for several minutes.
Meanwhile, in a blender or food processor, finely chop blueberries, 1 cup at a time. Add lemon juice, spices and 2 cups of chopped berries to gelatin; heat over medium-low until gelatin is dissolved. Remove from the heat; stir in remaining berries and mix well.
Pour into jars or plastic containers; store in the refrigerator up to three weeks.OR freeze up to one year. Yield: 4 cups.

Gave out as christmas gifts- it went over very well.
