How to Make Apple Berry Pomegranate Freezer Jam
- In a large bowl, whisk together 4 cups of sugar and the contents of one box of powdered pectin until fully combined. Set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 3 cups peeled and chopped apples, 2 cups pomegranate juice, 1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen), and 2 tablespoons lemon juice.
- Bring the fruit mixture to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently to prevent sticking.
- Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and gently crush the apples using a potato masher to your desired consistency. Leave some chunks for texture if desired.
- Let the fruit mixture cool slightly, about 15 minutes.
- Add the cooled fruit mixture to the sugar/pectin mixture, stirring constantly for 3 minutes until fully incorporated.
- Using a funnel, carefully ladle the jam into five clean 8-ounce plastic freezer jars, filling to the fill line.
- Securely twist on the lids.
- Let the jam stand at room temperature for 30 minutes to thicken.
- Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to three weeks, or freeze for up to one year.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
