Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Strawberries
- 1 cup Blueberries
- 1 cup Raspberries
- 4 cups Granulated sugar
- 1.75 ounces Powdered pectin for freezer jam
- 0.75 cup Water
Instructions
Wash and dry the strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries. Remove the stems from the strawberries.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the strawberries with a potato masher until they reach your desired consistency (chunky or smooth). Repeat this process with the blueberries and raspberries, then combine all the mashed berries in the same bowl.
Measure 4 cups of the combined berry mixture and place it back into the bowl. Discard any excess berry mixture or save it for another use.
Add the granulated sugar to the berry mixture and stir thoroughly to combine. Let this mixture sit for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to help the sugar dissolve.
In a small saucepan, whisk together the powdered pectin and water. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute, then remove the saucepan from the heat.
Pour the hot pectin mixture into the berry and sugar mixture. Stir vigorously for 3-5 minutes to ensure the pectin is fully incorporated and the mixture begins to thicken.
Ladle the jam into clean, freezer-safe containers, leaving about 1/2 inch of space at the top to allow for expansion during freezing. Secure the lids tightly.
Let the jam sit at room temperature for 24 hours to set. Afterward, store it in the freezer for up to 1 year or in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
Thaw in the refrigerator before use and enjoy your homemade Triple Berry Freezer Jam!
