Yesterday I tried my hand at 2 yummy recipes I have never tried before. \u00a0Blueberry freezer jam and oven dried beef jerky. The jerky was so scrumptious, we devoured it, it’s gone!!! \u00a0The jam is still setting, but I can tell you the mixture was so good, my husband licked the bowl, with the help of myself and our son of course:) So I thought I’d share the recipes with you.<\/p>\n

Blueberry Freezer Jam:<\/strong><\/p>\n

You will need:<\/p>\n

3 Cups crushed blueberries (about 3 pints)<\/p>\n

5 1\/4 cups granulated sugar<\/p>\n

1 T lemon juice<\/p>\n

1 package powdered pectin<\/p>\n

3\/4 Cups water<\/p>\n

Crush berries in a large bowl, add lemon juice and sugar, stir to mix well and let stand for 10 minutes. In a saucepan, mix pectin and water and bring to a boil. \u00a0Boil, stirring constantly for 1 minute. \u00a0Mix pectin mixture into fruit mixture, stir for 3 minutes. \u00a0Pour fruit mixture into small canning jars leaving 1\/2 inch headspace. \u00a0Cover immediately and let stand at room temperature for 24 hours. \u00a0Store in freezer. \u00a0Makes about 6 cups.<\/p>\n

Oven Dried Beef Jerky<\/strong><\/p>\n

You will need:<\/p>\n

about 1 pound of beef, I used a small Roast but London Broil works great too.<\/p>\n

1\/2 Cup Worcestershire sauce (I used Lea & Perrins Thick)<\/p>\n

1\/4 Cup liquid smoke<\/p>\n

1 tsp. garlic powder<\/p>\n

1 tsp. ground black pepper<\/p>\n

1 tsp. onion powder<\/p>\n

Mix above ingredients together. Slice beef against the grain thinly (this is easier done if beef is frozen) place in a ziplock bag with mixture, shake to evenly coat beef slices. \u00a0Squeeze out all the air, reseal and let sit overnight.<\/p>\n

Once your beef has marinated over night, blot off marinade from each slice with paper towel and lay on a wire rack inside\u00a0pan (I use a lasagna pan) but a cookie sheet would work too. \u00a0I also line the bottom of the pan with tin foil for easier clean-up. \u00a0Make sure beef slices are laying flat on wire rack and not overlapping each other. \u00a0Bake in oven at 200 degrees until beef is leathery, about 2-3 hours. \u00a0Let cool on rack completely before serving. \u00a0Store in air tight container or ziplock bags.<\/p>\n
