Becoming Domesticated

This past weekend, I made three flavors of Freezer Jam....Strawberry, Plum and Grape (from green grapes because Evan + Merit don't like purple grape jam). It was super easy and taste wonderful. I find myself craving it. I'm not sure if it's because it's so yummy or if it's because it's made with an extra slice of love.

Freezer Jam
4 lbs. of Fresh Berries or fruit (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, plums, peaches)
1.5 cups of Sugar
1 Pkg. Ball Freezer Jam Pectin
lemon juice (see recipe that comes with Pectin; some need it some don't)

Freezer-safe canning jars or small tupperware containers.

Wash, stem & slice fruit, then place in a shallow pan.
Use masher to crush berries {consistency will depend on how chunky you like your jam}.

In separate bowl, mix together pectin and sugar.
Add mashed fruit to your mixture and stir for 3 minutes.

Scoop jam into small freezer-safe jars or tupperware containers. Let the jam set for 30 minutes, then store in your freezer or refrigerator. Store in your freezer for up to 1 year, or in refrigerator for up to 1 month.

Recipe makes approximately six 8 oz. jars or twelve 4 oz. jars.
