Easy Blueberry Jelly is a recipe with no Gelatin. Only three main ingredients required. Smooth and shiny textured blueberry 🫐 jelly simply melts into the mouth. Quick and easy to prepare at homes within no time. Could be stored in an airtight jar by storing in a refrigerator for later use. Fresh or slightly ripen blueberries could be used to prepare this jelly and enjoyed by spreading on your sandwiches or bread. If you like to prepare Jellies at home you may also try watermelon Jelly which is with less sugar in it and with no Gelatin
For storing these in small batches we need to sterilize our jelly jars by boiling these in hot water for 10 minutes. And then dried by microwaving it. I prepare jellies often in small batches instead of preparing a lot together. Then store them in sterilized jars.
Taste and Texture
The texture is spreadable. The taste is sweet with a light sourness, smooth, and simply melts in the mouth. Easy to spread on bread and sandwiches.

Wash and clean 1 cup of blueberries
Transfer into a pan and add 2 cups of water and Bring this to boil.

In between after the sugar dissolves squeeze out some lime juice into it
Preparing of the Cornstarch Slurry
On the side quickly prepare a cornstarch slurry. Take 2 tablespoons of cornstarch and add little water to it and mix. Prepare a lump free, thin-cornstarch slurry.
Add this cornstarch slurry into the juice while cooking. Add slowly into it and keep stirring it and mixing so that no lumps forms.
Gradually you will see the mixture starts to thicken. The consistency should be semi-liquid form. Watch the full video to understand better. Video link given below.
Consistency check
The consistency is semi liquid. As you can see in the image that the liquid is not too runny. Its kind of dripping down very slowly. This is when it is hot but once cold it will thicken a little bit. Yes storing overnight would surely change the texture. It is somewhat like a jelly spread
Turn off the flame when the consistency thickens and transfer immediately into a jar.
Storing and refrigeration
Important note: Once you start with the recipe make sure to sterilize the jar on the side, ready to store this jelly immediately after cooking.
Transfer the prepared juice immediately into the sterilized jar. Allow cooling sometimes.
Allow it to cool a little bit
Clean the sides of the jar with a dry cotton cloth or a tissue. Then seal and tighten with the lid.
