I found the recipe again, without a lot of details. Just substitute
blueberries for the blackberries; it works pretty well. You'll
probably want to add the sugar to the lemons and cook it for a while
before you add the berries, just so you don't have to cook the berries
for so long.

Taste it before you make a second batch. The lemon is kind of
overpowering (that's not necessarily a bad thing)

Blackberry Lemon Jam
from _Farm Journal_

2 lemons, seeded and chopped
1 1/2 cup water
6 cups blackberries
7 cups sugar

Combine lemons and water and cook for 20 minutes. Add berries and
sugar and cook another 20 minutes or until thickened. Pour into
sterile jars, leaving 1/4" headspace, seal, process in BWB canner for
5 minutes.
