                                Compared to high-pectin fruits like citrus or tart apples, blueberries are generally considered a low to moderate-pectin fruit. This means that while blueberries do have pectin, their quantity is less, which impacts jam and jelly recipes, making additional thickeners a common practice for a consistent, firm gel.
