How to Make Lemon Berry Mix Up Freezer Jam

  1. Gently thaw 4 cups of mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.) in the refrigerator until softened but still slightly icy.
  2. Crush the thawed berries using a potato masher until desired consistency is reached.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 (1.75 ounce) package of freezer jam pectin and 4 cups of granulated sugar until completely combined.
  4. Zest 1 large lemon and add the zest to the sugar and pectin mixture.
  5. Add the crushed berries to the sugar and pectin mixture.
  6. Stir vigorously for 3 minutes until the mixture is thoroughly blended and thickened.
  7. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding a little more sugar or lemon juice.
  8. Serve immediately for a warm, delicious treat.
  9. For longer storage, ladle the jam into clean, sterilized 8-ounce freezer-safe jars, leaving ½-inch headspace.
  10. Secure lids tightly onto the jars.
  11. Allow the jam to stand at room temperature for about 30 minutes to fully thicken.
  12. Refrigerate for up to 3 weeks or freeze for up to 1 year.
