RASPBERRY FREEZER JAM

jam2

While I am a modern-day housewife, I have not added canning to my resume. [That is taking it to a higher level.]   However, I do love to make freezer jam.  It is so sweet and fresh!  We went on Sunday to our Farmer’s Market and bought fresh-from-the-farm raspberries.  I was able to make six- 8oz containers of Raspberry Freezer Jam in under an hour and that included 30 minutes of set time.  It takes just 3 ingredients, a bowl, a potato masher, and plastic freezer jars.  Really any one can do it and *most kids are eager to help.

Use small-4oz glass mason jars to give this jam as gifts.  Be sure to remind the recipients that it must be stored in the refrigerator.   There is nothing better than giving away the sweetness of summer!

*Disclaimer:  While most kids would be eager to participate in making jam, the child pictured in this post was not.  Pictures are 100% staged.  He had absolutely no interest in participating.

    We love making jam in our house. The taste is so fresh. The hard part for us is having some left by winter. 🙂
