This will not freeze. However, you can cut the recipe in half to make less. It will last in the refrigerator for up to 3 months. Enjoy!

I made this "Blueberry Patch Jam" this afternoon; wonderful!!! I remember my Gramma and Mother canning Jelly's, Jam's, veggies, etc when I was very young; never did that myself, but with this easy recipe made me think, "I have to give it a try"! Glad I did! With left over berries, made your "Shortcut Blueberry Muffins," and these also turned out great! Thank you for all the 'awesome and easy' recipes; always look forward to my email from you, because everything is .... "OOH ITS SO GOOD!!" Sincerely, 'Little ole' Ohio cook' Sherry

We would suggest placing the jam in a sauce pan, adding a little water and stir over low heat, until its the desired consistency.

I have made jam before with fruit pectin in the recipe as a thickener. Does this thicken without it? How long can you store it? In the fridge? In the freezer?

Blueberry jam cannot be frozen, will be loose when it thaws and it'll last about 6 months in the fridge. :)

To sweet for me, Wonderful if you cut the sugar in half, good with splenda. You can use other fruits, and you can freeze it.

We havent tested sugar substitute in the Test Kitchen, but granulated Splenda is equivalent to regular sugar. So 3 cups regular sugar = 3 cups granulated Splenda if you want to give it a shot.

I am a diabetic and I used organic blue agave nectar instead of sugar. It's low on the glycemic index and doesn't usually raise my blood sugar. It worked out very well. I used 2/3 cup in place of 1 cup sugar...2 cups agave for this recipe. On to other fruits!
