Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh fruit (strawberries, raspberries, or peaches)
- 4 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.75 ounces Powdered pectin for no-cook freezer jams
- 0.75 cups Water
Instructions
Wash and prepare the fresh fruit by removing stems, seeds, or pits as needed. Chop or mash the fruit to your preferred consistency using a potato masher or food processor, leaving small chunks or making it completely smooth according to your taste.
Measure exactly 2 cups of prepared fruit and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.
Add the granulated sugar to the bowl with the fruit. Stir thoroughly until the sugar is well incorporated and starts to dissolve. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
In a separate bowl, combine the powdered pectin with 0.75 cups of water. Stir well and microwave on high for 1 minute, or until the mixture comes to a rolling boil. Be careful when handling as it will be hot.
Immediately pour the hot pectin mixture into the fruit and sugar mixture. Stir thoroughly for 3 minutes, ensuring everything is well combined and the sugar has dissolved completely.
Ladle the jam into clean, freezer-safe jars or containers, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing. Seal the containers tightly with lids.
Let the jam sit at room temperature for 24 hours to fully set, then transfer to the freezer for long-term storage. Alternatively, store in the refrigerator if you plan to use it within 3 weeks.
Thaw frozen jam in the refrigerator before use. Serve on toast, biscuits, or as a topping for desserts. Enjoy!
