📝 Preparation Steps

Prepare a water bath canner, jars, rings and lids before beginning. The canner should be pre-heated to around 180 degrees F (barely simmering) for hot pack.

Juice the lemons and strain to remove any pulp and seeds.

Puree the blueberries. (Straining the puree to remove skins and seeds is optional, and only affects texture, not safety. I don't strain for with blueberries, as the seeds are so small they're not noticeable and the skins puree completely.)

Mix the blueberry puree, strained lemon juice, and sugar in a saucepan.

Gently heat the mixture on the stove to around 190 degrees F, but do not boil.

Ladle the blueberry lemonade concentrate into prepared jars, leaving 1/4 inch headspace. Seal with 2 part canning lids.

Process the jars in a water bath canner for ⏱️ 15 minutes, adjusting to the altitude (see notes).

Turn off the heat and leave the jars in the canner for an additional ⏱️ 5 minutes to cool slightly before removing them with a canning jar lifter to cool completely on a towel on the counter.

Wait 12 to ⏱️ 24 hours, then check seals. Store any unsealed jars in the refrigerator for immediate use. Properly canned and sealed jars may be stored in the pantry. Refrigerate after opening.
