How to Make Berry Best Freezer Jam
- Combine 3 cups blueberries and 3 cups raspberries in a large bowl.
- Add 4 cups granulated sugar and 1/4 cup lemon juice to the berries.
- Gently stir to combine. Let stand for at least 10 minutes to allow the berries to release their juices.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup water and 1 pouch (1.75 oz) liquid pectin.
- Bring to a rolling boil over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Boil for exactly 1 minute, stirring continuously.
- Immediately remove from heat and pour the hot pectin mixture into the fruit mixture.
- Stir vigorously for 3 minutes until the mixture thickens.
- Skim off any foam that forms on the surface.
- Ladle the jam into clean, sterilized freezer-safe containers, leaving about 1/2 inch headspace.
- Let the jam cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Cover and let the jam stand at room temperature overnight to allow the pectin to set completely.
- Freeze for up to one year. Once opened, store in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks.
