Introduction

Ingredients
To make Ball Freezer Jam, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- 2 cups of crushed fruit (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, or a combination)
- 4 cups of sugar
- 1 box of Ball Freezer Jam Pectin
- 3/4 cup of water
Instructions
1. Start by washing and crushing your chosen fruit. You can use a food processor, blender, or potato masher to crush the fruit. You should end up with around 2 cups of crushed fruit. 2. In a large bowl, mix together the crushed fruit and sugar until well combined. 3. In a separate bowl, mix together the Ball Freezer Jam Pectin and water until well combined. 4. Pour the pectin mixture into the fruit mixture and stir until well combined. 5. Let the mixture sit for around 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. This allows the pectin to activate and the sugar to dissolve. 6. After 30 minutes, pour the mixture into clean freezer-safe containers. Leave around 1/2 inch of headspace at the top of each container to allow for expansion during freezing. 7. Label and date the containers, then place them in the freezer. 8. Your Ball Freezer Jam will be ready to enjoy after a few hours in the freezer. Once thawed, store the jam in the refrigerator and use within 3 weeks.
