How to Make No Sugar Freezer Jam

  1. In a medium saucepan, whisk together 1/4 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup water, 1 tablespoon unflavored gelatin, and 2 tablespoons cornstarch until smooth.
  2. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until the gelatin and cornstarch are completely dissolved and the mixture begins to thicken slightly (about 5 minutes).
  3. Gently stir in 4 cups of your favorite berries (such as strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries).
  4. Bring the mixture to a gentle boil over low heat, stirring continuously to prevent sticking.
  5. Once boiling, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for 3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in your preferred sugar substitute (amount depends on desired sweetness – start with 1/4 cup and adjust to taste).
  7. Carefully ladle the hot jam into sterilized, heat-proof jars, leaving about 1/4 inch headspace.
  8. Wipe the rims of the jars clean, and seal tightly with lids.
  9. Let the jam cool completely at room temperature. Once cooled, store in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or freeze for longer storage.
  10. Enjoy your homemade sugar-free jam!
