SPICED BLUEBERRY JAM 
3 c. fresh blueberries or 1 pkg. (1 lb.) frozen, thawed
1 tbsp. lemon juice
3 1/2 c. sugar
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground cloves
1/4 tsp. allspice
1 pouch liquid pectin
Melted paraffin wax

Remove any stems from berries. Crush berries one layer at a time. Measure 2 1/4 cups packed solidly. If necessary, add water to make up amount. Pour into very large saucepan or Dutch oven. Add lemon juice, sugar and spices, mixing well. Bring to full rolling boil (a boil that cannot be stirred down) and boil, stirring, one minute.

Remove from heat and immediately stir in pectin. Ladle in hot jars (jelly). Pour 1/8 inch hot paraffin over top. Paraffin should cling to sides of jars and contain no air bubbles. Cover with lids and store in cool dry place.
