  • 2 tsps fresh lemon juice
  • 1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour

  6. Work the butter until the mixture is in coarse crumbs.

Canning and freezing the blueberries:

*Stevia (in a prepared form like Truvia, it measures same as sugar; if you use another form, you will need do your own conversion) - or Splenda, if you prefer it, which is the trademark name for sucralose sweeteners.  They are different from other artificial sweeteners like Nutrasweet (or aspartame) and SweetNLow (tm); in that Stevia (in a prepared form like Truvia, measures same as sugar; if you use another form, you will need do your own conversion). Or Splenda, if you prefer, which doesn't break down when you cook with it.  It is also considered to be "more natural" since it is a modified form of ordinary sugar. However, even the company that makes Splenda generally doesn't recommend completely substituting sugar with Splenda. They recommend a 50-50 mix seems to work best; otherwise both consistency and flavor suffer. But at least you can cut the empty calories almost in half, which can be important for diabetics!

Home Canning Kits

This is the same type of standard canner that my grandmother used to make everything from applesauce to jams and jellies to tomato and spaghetti sauce. This complete kit includes everything you need and lasts for years: the canner, jar rack, jar grabber tongs, lid lifting wand, a plastic funnel, labels, bubble freer. It's much cheaper than buying the items separately. You'll never need anything else except jars & lids (and the jars are reusable)! There is also a simple kit with just the canner and rack, and a pressure canner, if you want to do vegetables (other than tomatoes).
