Raspberry Freezer Jam

Ingredients

• 2 cups Fresh Raspberries, washed and stems removed
• 1 ½ cups Sugar
• 1 package Fruit Pectin (specifically for freezer jam)
• 2 tablespoons Lemon Juice (freshly squeezed if possible)
• ¼ cup Water

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, mash the fresh raspberries using a potato masher or fork until you achieve a chunky consistency. Leave some whole for texture if desired.
2. Stir in the sugar and let the mixture sit for about 10 minutes to allow the raspberries to release their juices.
3. In a small saucepan, combine the water and fruit pectin. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the pectin dissolves completely, about 1-2 minutes.
4. Immediately pour the pectin mixture into the raspberry mixture and stir vigorously for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens slightly and becomes glossy.
5. Stir in the freshly squeezed lemon juice.
6. Pour the jam into clean, freezer-safe containers, leaving about ½ inch of headspace at the top to allow for expansion during freezing. Seal tightly.
7. Let the jam cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes before placing it in the freezer.
