Freezer Jam

By Hklbrries

The first step in all freezer preserves is to prepare the containers. Use only containers 1 pint or less in size, plastic or glass, that have tight-fitting lids. Wash, scald and drain containers and lids in the dishwasher with really hot water (150 F or higher).

Freezer jams are one of the ways to enjoy the fruits of summer for year-round enjoyment. Since there's no need to cook this type of jam, every jar is filled with fresh fruit flavor even after several months of freezer storage.

Popular choices for summer jam making include peaches, berries, nectarines and cherries. A touch of spice can be added to peaches or 1/4 cup of rose wine can replace an equal amount of liquid in berry jams. When preparing fruits such as peaches, the food processor comes in handy. In crushing berries by hand, crush one layer at a time to let juices flow freely.
