I have become a canning fanatic. Sometimes I find myself in the kitchen wanting to can something. There is nothing better than a good raspberry freezer jam recipe. Homemade raspberry jam is the BEST! Homemade biscuits with melted fresh butter and jam. Makes my mouth water.
Raspberry freezer jam is my favorite to make. All jams leave an inviting sweet smell in the home, but there is just something about raspberry. It reminds me of almost every season. Plus, making Raspberry freezer jam is so easy. Never be intimated by it. If you don’t have pectin for making homemade jam, don’t panic. You can create this recipe with gelatin packets just as easily.
Raspberry Freezer Jam Recipe
All you need are 8-ounce canning jars, 8 cups of whole frozen raspberries, vanilla, sea salt, honey and gelatin packets.
Buy some of the items you need:
Begin by combining the raspberries, sea salt, vanilla and honey into a medium saucepan and let boil. Lower heat and let simmer for about forty-five minutes, stirring occasionally. Once the mixture is soft and about 50% reduced, turn off heat and leave the pan on the stove. Add gelatin packet and stir in completely.
Remove from heat completely and begin ladling your jam into the 8-ounce jars. Leave about a 1/2 inch headspace. Let cool on a cooling rack for about thirty minutes without placing lid. Once cooled, place over lid and band. Jam can be stored in the freezer for up to a year, lasts about one week open in the refrigerator. A perfect addition to your canned jelly recipes.
