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 jelly 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 this freezer jam recipe 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.
Can frozen raspberries be used to make jam?
Yes, you can use frozen raspberries to make jam but I recommend first heating them in a saucepan.
Add a little bit of lemon juice while heating to keep the flavor. Once raspberries are soft, you can use them for the freezer jam recipe. Heating them prior helps for a spreadable texture.
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.

How to Make Raspberry Freezer Jam
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 the heat and leave the pan on the stove. Add gelatin packet and stir until dissolved and no longer grainy.
Remove from heat completely and begin ladling your jam into clean jars. Leave about a 1/2 inch headspace. Let cool on a cooling rack for about thirty minutes without placing the lid.
How long does freezer jam last?
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.
