Leftover Summer Freezer Jam image

I created this recipe about 3 years ago. Of course it will never be the same each time it's made. It all depends on the the combination of fruits used. It was a hit! Servings and yields are approximate.

Time 1h15m

Yield 7-8 half pints, 60 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 1/4 cups crushed berries
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 (2 ounce) box mcp pectin
4 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup

Steps:

  • Combination of strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries to make 3 1/4 cups crushed berries.
  • Measure exact amount of prepared fruit along with lemon juice into large saucepan.
  • Measure exact amount of sugar into separate bowl.
  • Gradually stir in 1 box of pectin into fruit. Mix thoroughly.
  • Set aside 30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to dissolve pectin thoroughly.
  • Pour 1 cup corn syrup into fruit mixture.
  • Mix well. This prevents sugar crystallization during freezer storage.
  • Stir in sugar gradually.
  • Stir constantly until sugar is completely dissolved and no longer grainy. **Candace tip - Place large saucepan over low heat. The jam isn't meant to be cooked - the heat just helps with the sugar dissolving.**.
  • Pour into prepared freezer containers leaving 1/2 inch headspace at top for expansion during freezing.
  • Put in freezer or refrigerator.
