One of my mom's favorites and mine too, this quick and simple raspberry freezer jam makes the most of your summer fruit bounty. It's also great as a topping for ice cream, blintzes and whatever else you can think of.
I stash a few of each flavor in the freezer to enjoy a bit of summer when it's chilly and wet outside. You can find recipes for all types of fruit on the Sure Jell website.
Easy freezer jam (raspberry)
3 cups crushed berries
5 1/4 cups sugar
1 box Sure Jell pectin
Wash and rinse berries then crush about half (some lumpy fruit is ok.) Measure exact amount of sugar and add to the berries. Stir well and let sit for 10 minutes.
Stir one box of pectin into 3/4 cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil on high heat, stirring constantly. Boil one minute, remove from heat.
Stir pectin mixture into the fruit until the sugar dissolves completely. About 3 minutes.
Pour the fruit mixture into clean containers. Let stand at room temperature for 24 hour to set. Refrigerate up to 3 weeks.
Freeze up to one year and thaw in the refrigerator.
