Freezer Jam

[Spring Creek Calls]

Bought strawberries yesterday and picked blackberries this morning and the freezer jam is in jars and ready for the freezer tomorrow. Did 3 pints of strawberry/blackberry mix and the rest all strawberry and all blackberry. Should get us thru till next summer.

Mike, what is FREEZER jam?  I've never heard that term before.  I'm very familiar with making jams and jellies, putting them up in Ball jars but we just call them strawberry, blackberry jam.  My grandmothers use to have homemade jam and jellies on the dining room table for every meal, to go with warm homemade biscuits.  UMMMMMMMMM!

Freezer jam involves no cooking, except for boiling water and the pectin to stiffen up the mixture of berries and sugar. One jar in the fridge and the rest to the freezer to be pulled one jar at a time. Mash up the berries, add sugar, let set for 10 minutes, stir in the hot pectin/water mix for 3 minutes and into the jars. I put up 18 pints in about 3 hours.

We Make strawberry freezer jam every year, it's just awesome!   I think we're addicted to it.    Sometimes it doesn't jell good, don't know why but then we have the best strawberry syrup you've ever had  LOL.    We have made a big batch before and skipped a year tastes just as good 2 years old.    Have made peach and blueberry before but strawberry's our favorite.   Use liquid Certo pectin, put our in plastic tupperware containers.

Don't believe I have ever even heard of  mayhaw jelly. I believe jalapeño jelly is about as exotic as I have tried. It was pretty good.

Got it!  My Grandmother's did everything Old School.  They had a root cellar that housed all of their winter stores.  They heat canned everything, jams, jellies, vegetables, sausage and everything went in the root cellar.  No freezer for them.  Meat was salt cured and preserved for winter as well.  Thanks for the explanation.

Mayhaw jelly rocks!
I got a couple of my WV buddies hooked on it.  I take some every spring for 'em.
