Directions
- Put blueberries and sugar into a large Dutch oven or 6 quart stainless steel pot. Add lemon zest and juice. Bring to a rolling boil, stirring occasionally. Let boil for one minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and immediately stir in pectin. Skim off any foam. Add thyme leaves and stir to combine.
- Pour into sterilized jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. If planning on storing in the refrigerator, seal jars and place in fridge.
