Making Freezer Jam!!!

Remember all the fruit that was not that great looking? Small, bird pecked, has a soft spot. You know the ones.

Lets make it into some Freezer jam!!! This is the best use for the not ready for canning fruit.

So get the things you need.

Sugar,

Lemon juice,

fruit,

Pectin,

Now prepare the fruit by taking out the seed and chopping any not so good parts off. It is best if the fruit is fully ripe and a little soft. They should be sweet and juicy!

Now blend them up to a nice puree. or if you like chunky jam less blending so there are still chunks of fruit.

Put 5 cups sugar in a large bowel and add 2 and 1/4 cups pureed fruit.

Add 2 table spoons of lemon juice.

Mix well for and let sit for 10 minutes.

Now put 3/4 cup of water in a sauce pan.

Then put in 1 package of Fruit Pectin.

Bring to a boil.

Then add the pectin to your sugar and fruit in the mixing bowel.

Stir for 3 minutes.

Then pack into your clean jars.

clean the rim, leave 1/2 inch head space then put on your lids and rings, or you can just put it into plastic containers.

Let them sit for 24 hours at room temperature. then place them in the freezer. When you take them out to eat be sure to refrigerate after you open them.

This is not a family secrete recipe. It is the standard recipe that comes inside the box of Fruit Pectin.
for other fruits and berrys or to make cooped jam follow the recipe from the box. It works well and taste great.
