Thanks for the recipe! This is an easy recipe to follow. Though I also had trouble getting the appropriate amount of juice from the crushed berries the first time around with the 45 min cooking time. So I just didn't simmer the crushed berries for so long. I simmered them for 20 minutes, uncovered. I got the most delicious looking dark juice! and I got the amount of juice I needed for the recipe. I used one less cup of sugar than the recipe calls for. As for the taste...it is as good as any other jelly I have tasted but I couldn't tell what fruit it came from. Neither could several other people. I had to tell them it was blueberry. I will still use the recipe again but I will double the amount of crushed blueberries and simmer it down to a concentrated juice and also cut down on the amount of sugar to help the blueberry taste to really pop! Thanks again for the recipe!!!

After 45 minutes of cooking, we had less than 1 cup of juice left. We added more water and reheated the berries, processed as instructed and the jelly won't set. I'm disappointed to say the least!

my daughter (and I) made this and entered it in the county fair. She won grand champion in her division with this recipe. We used frozen blueberries, and made 1/2 a recipe. The hardest thing was getting enough juice (we needed 3 cups). The first time we strained it we only had 1 cup. So, I put the berries back in the pan and added more water. I kept doing this until we had enough juice. It's beautiful, fragrant and yummy. Thanks:-)
