Making freezer jam allows you to enjoy fresh, homemade jam at any time of the year without the hassle of canning. It also preserves the natural flavors and textures of the fruit.
Freezer jam can last up to a year in the freezer if stored properly in an airtight container. However, for best quality, it is recommended to consume within 6 months.
Yes, frozen fruit can be used for freezer jam. Just make sure to thaw the fruit completely before using it in the recipe.
Soft fruits like berries, peaches, and plums work best for freezer jam. Harder fruits like apples or pears may require additional cooking time and may not have the same texture as fresh fruits.
Pectin is not necessary for freezer jam, as the fruit's natural pectin will thicken the jam when combined with sugar and lemon juice. However, some recipes may call for pectin to achieve a thicker consistency.
