Ingredients

1 Orange

1 Lemon

1 1/2 c Water

1/4 c Fresh orange juice

4 c Fresh blueberries, rinsed and destemmed

3 c Granulated sugar

1/8 ts Ground cinnamon

1 dash Of freshly grated nutmeg

Directions

Wash 5 half pint jars. Keep hot until needed. Preaper lids as manufacturer directs.

Cut a thin slice from each end of the orange and lemon.

Discard slices. Score orange and lemon through the peel in 4 places.

Carefully remove all the peel and set pulp aside.

Lay peel flat and cut away half the white pith

. Cut peel into very fine shreds.

Place in a skillet with water.

Bring to a boil, cover and cook on high heat 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, separate lemon adn orange pulp from membranes.

Add pulp to cooking peel. Squeeze membranes to extract any juice;

add to skillet along with 1/4 cup of orange juice.

Cover and cook over medium heat for 15 minutes longer.

Add blueberries, sugar,cinnamon and nutmeg.

Bring mixture to a boil and continue cooking,uncovered, for 20 minutes.

The blueberries will pop open and the mixture will begin to thicken slightly and appear glossy.

Turn off the heat and transfer a small amount of marmalade to a saucer.

Place in freezer for 5 minutes. If the mixture wrinkles as a whole (not just a skin on top) when pushed to one side with a finger, it is ready.

This marmalade thickens a great deal as it cools, so avoid overcooking.

Ladle the hot marmalade into 1 hot jar at a time, leaving 1/4 inch head space.

Wipe jar rim with a clean, damp cloth. Attach lid. Fill and close remaining jars.

Process in a boiling water canner for 10 minutes. (15 minutes at 1,001 to 6,000 feet, 20 minutes above 6,000 feet)

Makes about 5 half pints.

I just ordered a blueberry bush to plant in a very large pot. I too will have to wait and see if I get some next year. In the meantime, I'll just have to go buy some to make this lovely recipe!
