Required Kitchen Tools

To make this Ball Blueberry Jam Recipe, having the right tools makes the process much smoother. Here’s what I always keep on hand:
  • Large Stockpot: For cooking down the blueberries and sugar mixture.
  • Potato Masher: Essential for crushing blueberries evenly and releasing their juices.
  • Wooden Spoon or Whisk: Helps with constant stirring to prevent burning.
  • Ladle & Funnel: Makes it easy to transfer hot jam into jars without mess.
  • Ball Mason Jars with Lids: The best jars for sealing and preserving homemade jam.
  • Canning Tongs: For safely handling hot jars during the water bath process.
With these tools, making jam becomes a smooth and enjoyable process, almost therapeutic.
