For a smoother spread, use an immersion blender to puree the mixture after simmering. If you prefer a less sweet spread, reduce the amount of sugar to taste. Sterilizing the jars ensures a longer shelf life for the spread. If you plan to consume it within a week, sterilization may not be necessary. This recipe can easily be doubled or tripled, depending on your needs. The pectin level of different fruits varies; blueberries are relatively low in pectin, hence the use of gelatin for thickening.
