Raspberry Freezer Jam

Raspberry Freezer Jam

Great jam without all the cooking and canning!
(makes approximately 7 cups)

Approximately 3 pints fresh raspberries, washed and crushed to make
3 cups crushed raspberries
5 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 package sure-jell pectin, powdered form
3/4 cup water

1. Stir sugar into crushed raspberries and let sit for 10 minutes.

2. While raspberries are “sitting”, bring powdered pectin and water to a rolling boil, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute.

3. Add while hot to raspberries. Stir about 3 minutes until sugar is dissolved.

4. Pour into 1 cup (8 oz) plastic containers that have a tight fitting lid. Do not place lid on containers.

5. Let stand for 24 hours at room temperature lightly covered with wax paper. You want any steam to escape as jam cools so don’t tightly cover the containers.

6. Tightly seal, removing as much air as possible. Keeps in refrigerator for 2 weeks or in the freezer for 6 months.
