Encore – Fresh Freezer Jam

When we began this blog a little over 2 years ago one of the first posts we did was on Freezer Jam.  It happened to be raspberry, but you can just as easily use strawberries.  It is berry season and this week strawberries were on sale so….let’s just say we will have strawberry jam all year 🙂

Enjoy this Encore of the easiest jam recipe you will ever use!

To make Strawberry Jam, you can substitute 2 packages (16oz each) of strawberries for the raspberries.

5 packages fresh raspberries (6oz. each)
2 2/3 – 3 cups sugar
1/2 cup Ball Real Fruit Instant Pectin
8 oz. jars

Mash fruit with potato masher one package at a time.

Mix sugar and pectin. Add fruit and stir for 3 minutes. Ladle into clean jars. Allow jars to sit at room temperature for 24 hours. Jam can be kept in the freezer for several months or in the refrigerator for about 1 month.

Makes about 6 jars – 1 cup each
