How to Make Berry Best Freezer Jam

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