Raspberry freezer jam is a delicious and easy way to preserve the sweet taste of summer berries. It's a great way to use up a surplus of fresh raspberries, and it's also a great way to enjoy the taste of summer all year long. Freezer jam is a method of preserving fruit that uses sugar to thicken it, rather than traditional methods like boiling or canning. This makes it a quick and easy way to make jam, and it doesn't require any special equipment.

CHERRY, RHUBARB, RASPBERRY FREEZER JAM



Cherry, Rhubarb, Raspberry Freezer Jam image

I have always wanted to make jam out of my rhubarb, but did not want it to sweet or to sour..and I love cherries so I went to the cupboard and revamped a recipe that I had. This may be a little on the sweet side but not enough to mask the flavor of the rhubarb and having the cherry mingled in there was the part that put it over...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

7 1/2 c rhubarb, chopped
1 1/2 c water
7 1/2 c sugar
1 can(s) cherry pie filling (any size will work, depending on the amount of cherry's you like)
1 large and 1 small package of raspberry gelatin
you can use cherry gelatin

Steps:

  • 1. Chop up fresh rhubarb and add to a large pot with the water. Cook the rhubarb until it is tender and soft. Add the sugar to the cooked rhubarb, stir and cook on medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring all the time.
  • 2. Add the cherry pie filling and stir and cook for 10 minutes more Remove from heat (you do not have to skim the top). Add the gelatin. Stir until completely dissolved and no lumps. Ladle into freezer containers. Fruit will float to top so divide the fruit between the containers. Let completely cool. Clean up spills and drips and put the lids on each container of jam. Put one container in the refrigerator to start eating tomorrow. Place the rest of the containers of jam in the freezer.

FRESH RASPBERRY FREEZER JAM



Fresh Raspberry Freezer Jam image

Raspberries are my favorite for jam next to blueberries. By making the freezer jam you will think you are eating fresh raspberries all year because they are not cooked. Yummy! NOTE: Do not use a sugar substitute and do not reduce the sugar as it won't set right.

Categories     Fruit Desserts

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 1/2 c granulated sugar
1 pkg 1.59 oz freezer jam pectin
2 large chipolte peppers in adobo sauce
4 c fresh red raspberries, crushed

Steps:

  • 1. In a bowl, combine sugar and pectin, stirring until well blended, set aside.
  • 2. If desired remove seeds from chipolte peppers. In a mini food processor, or a knife, chop peppers finely, getting as close to a puree as possible.
  • 3. Combine peppers and 2 tablespoons adobo sauce. Add pepper mixture and raspberries to pectin mixture.
  • 4. Stir for 3 minutes.
  • 5. Ladle jam into plastic or glass freezer jars, leaving 1/2 inch head space. Apply lids tightly.
  • 6. Let jam sit at room temp until thickened, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate or freeze. In freezer can keep up to 1 year.

Tips:

  • Select ripe and fresh raspberries: Choose plump, deeply colored, and fragrant raspberries for the best flavor and texture in your freezer jam. Avoid any berries that show signs of bruising or spoilage.
  • Use a food processor or immersion blender: These tools will help you quickly and easily purée the raspberries until smooth. If you don't have either of these appliances, you can mash the berries by hand, but it will take a bit more time and effort.
  • Add sugar and lemon juice to taste: The amount of sugar and lemon juice you add will depend on your personal preference. Start with the suggested amounts in the recipe and adjust to taste. If you like a sweeter jam, add more sugar. If you prefer a tarter jam, add more lemon juice.
  • Process the jam immediately: Once you've combined all of the ingredients, process the jam immediately to prevent the berries from losing their color and flavor. You can process the jam in a boiling water bath canner or in a freezer-safe container.
  • Store the jam properly: If you're processing the jam in a boiling water bath canner, store the jars in a cool, dark place for up to a year. If you're freezing the jam, store it in an airtight container in the freezer for up to 6 months.

Conclusion:

Raspberry freezer jam is a delicious and easy way to preserve the summer's bounty of berries. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can enjoy this sweet and tart jam all year long. So next time you're at the farmers market or grocery store, be sure to pick up a few pints of raspberries and give this recipe a try!
