The title takes you to the pic of the red raspberries, but I found the pic of the raspberry jam http://laurarebeccaskitchen.blogspot.com/2006_06_01_archive.html here.
I didn't realize how easy it was to make freezer jam! More fruit and less sugar. Taste is just perfect. My friend Nicole brought her two kids and I brought mine, and we picked some raspberries. It was great fun, and a good experience for the kids. I made a run to the grocery store so I could have some pectin and some freezer containers to put them in. It seriously took me no more than 15 minutes to make three batches. It's a simple recipe that comes on the packet of Instant Fruit Pectin-Ball brand. It looks like a seasoning packet. Costs about $1.40 each. No cooking needed!
Raspberry Freezer Jam(works for all fruit, except peaches)
4 cups crushed fruit(apricots, berries, cherries, grapes, pears, plums, or other tender fruit)
1 1/2 cups sugar
5 Ball 8oz Freezer Jars or Jelly Jars
1. STIR sugar and pectin in a bowl.
2. ADD crushed fruit. Stir 3 minutes.
3. LADLE jam into clean jars and let stand 30 minutes. Enjoy.
