#THATSMYJAM my favourite jam/jelly is crabapple. Made it one year when my kids were little. Thought I had to core the crab apples (I did, it took forever!) My Grandmother gave me advise on hanging up the mixture after it cooked, in cheesecloth tied to a broom handle over a pot to drain. It got knocked over and went everywhere. Still laugh about it 25+ years later. The crab apple jelly I was able to save was incredible. Have never found anything that tasted so good from any craft show.

Sandra Hounslow I love food mishap stories, I made bread once and my brother used it as a door stop!

[@kathynorris1679]

Just love Raspberry Jam...my absolute favourite. Use Freezer Pectin all the time. #thatsmyjam

[@janicewhitnall2544]

#thatsmyjam I love freezer raspberry jam! I add a few drops of almond extract to it and drizzle over a scoop of vanilla ice cream popped into a peach half. I use good quality canned peaches in the winter and add a bit of the canned juice to the jam, extract mix to thin out a bit. A delicious winter dessert treat.

[@MyLeftFryingPan]

Janice Whitnall that sounds fabulous

[@fabulous605]

That's my Jam!!

[@TheNatasha23ism]

#thatsmyjam I like making sugar free blackberry freezer jam using Bernardin sugar free pectin for my dad who is diabetic but still loves his jam. We always get so many delicious blackberries growing all around our yard.

[@OnedayDesigns]

Raspberry jam is my favourite and boy does this recipe look so fast and easy #thatsmyjam

[@harryoone]

You inspired me, just finished one batch of strawberry jam. Got some local juicy strawberries. This is going to be some really good jam. Found the containers at Canadian tire. :)

[@MyLeftFryingPan]

Liz Vlug excellent I'm so happy I inspired you!

[@mariamcphail]

#thatsmyjam My favourite jam is cherry flavoured with a bit of almond extract. YUM!

[@petervisima4798]

#thatsmyjam I love marmalade, but this freezer jam looks pretty fantastic!

[@joannbrewer8314]

#thatsmyjam, raspberries are my favorite berries. I can't wait to make this recipe.

[@raehenderson1292]

#thatsmyjam.. Thank you for the inspiration. I have not made jam since an unfortunate attempt in Home Ec class in Grade 9 (we did not follow the rules) but now I am much older and somewhat wiser and raspberries are my son's favourite. Fingers crossed!

[@MyLeftFryingPan]

Rae Henderson you can do this!

[@patkollee9452]

Raspberry jam s my favorite#thats my jam

[@louiseverhagen6413]

#thatsmyjam or #itsmyjam I love making freezer jams! Strawberry is my favourite flavour but I love any jam especially if it is homemade 😁

[@dorothyknowles5803]

#thatsmyjam I'm making this...thanks Marilyn

[@darlenetrimble5818]

#thatsmyjam. I didn't get to make my strawberry jam this season as I wasn't feeling well. I'm hoping to make some peach freezer jam though. My husband's aunt gave us some years ago and we used to use it in our homemade waffle batter. Yummm.!!

[@MyLeftFryingPan]

Darlene Trimble love peach jam, I might make some too!

[@copeybarb5008]

#Thatsmyjam, Perfect for me Raspberry first 2nd strawberry, Thankyou Marilyn so much for an easy jam that I'm going to make, it's so awesome , Now just to get my roommate out to buy this all as I can't really walk , WOW You made my day

[@MyLeftFryingPan]

Barb Copeland it's so fresh tasting!

"We're jammin', we're jammin', And I hope you like jammin' too" Yes we do! Thanks for this easy recipe, Mairlyn. #thatsmyjam

[@bleering2815]

#thatsmyjam Any kind of jam/jelly will be welcomed in my tummy .... raspberry is my go to jam though on a warm piece of toast....or sandwiched between my cookies

[@suevaclavek1599]

#thatsmyjam who knew ham making could be so fun and easy!!

[@suevaclavek1599]

Also, that book you were reading gets great reviews on Good Reads. So today's video has a recipe, a cleaning tip, and a book choice!

[@dizzyowl76]

Great stain remover tip and blueberry jam is my all time favourite #itsmyjam #myleftfryingpan #sogladifoundyou

[@simone-1]

#thatsmyjam Looking forward to trying this one!

[@chrisso367]

#thatsmyjam I am torn between raspberry and strawberry-rhubarb for my faves but I do love making jam, and of course Bernardin is my go-to :) (ps. great tip re the stain removal, and I bet I will need it before the summer's out!) #itsmyjam

[@kathy-annecarr9115]

#thatsmyjam Our favourite is strawberry freezer jam. We made 40 jars this year!

[@MyLeftFryingPan]

Kathy-Anne Carr WOW!

[@susanbursey1924]

#thatsmyjam. I love blueberry jam! Yummy on toast!

[@taurusnbr1]

I love the small amount of sugar needed for this. Every homemade jam I've seen made on KZbin so far has been about equal parts sugar to fruit, that's insane to me. I'm a newbie to this so I'd hate to mess around with changing a recipe and possibly ruining all my expensive and precious products. The beauty of raspberries to me, is the natural tartness they have. Perfect for Italian rainbow cookies, Linzer tart cookies, cheesecakes etc. this jam would give a great balance to sweet desserts, it's perfect, can't wait to try this. Can this pectin be found at any store or only online? Thanks for sharing!

[@RobinLoiselle]

Love freezer jam as it tastes so fresh and is a lot less work. #thatsmyjam

[@stephanieritchie3667]

Thank you for this video! We picked way to many raspberries and looking for other ways to use them up! #thatsmyjam

[@galemaurer2820]

Wow does that stain removing tip wo rk for other food stains? Great recipe for small batch jam making. Raspberry is my fav. #thatsmyjam

[@MyLeftFryingPan]

Gale Maurer I've only used it on berries and fruit.

[@mojolovesladybugs]

Hi Mairlyn great video. I love plum jam best. I have question approximately how many cups of uncrushed raspberries does it take to make the 4 cups of crushed ones?

[@MyLeftFryingPan]

Monica Johnston good question, about 1 1/2 to 2 times as many.

[@janetbradshaw4119]

Black Currant, #thatsmyjam

[@janagray5293]

#thatsmyjam. Looks great. Is it easy to strain the seeds? And a great tip about the stain removal. Thank you.

[@MyLeftFryingPan]

Jana Gray it's messy, you need a fine wire mesh strainer and you have to push the jam through.

[@janagray5293]

My Left Frying Pan thank you

[@sandydownie8841]

#itsmyjam love the video Marilyn...quick question, is it ok to make with previously frozen raspberries?

[@MyLeftFryingPan]

Sandy Downie yes, but thaw them first, them mash. The flavour won't be quite as bright, but it will be okay.

[@susannus983]

#thatsmyjam strawberry jam!

[@JacqCourt]

Ummm YUM!!!! Do you have a version for people who are diabetic?

[@MyLeftFryingPan]

Unsolicited Moms yes, Bernardin makes a product for sugar free jam.

[@JacqCourt]

Perfect! Thank you!

[@makincakesforfun]

This doesn't look so scary might give it a try. I would like to know if you think you could replace stevia for the sugar? Can you use any fruit.. not a fan of raspberries.. the seeds.. ugh #thatsmyjam

[@MyLeftFryingPan]

Vicki Weaver Bernardin makes a sugar substitute for freezer jam. Check it out. And you can strain the crushed berries if you like. I love the seeds because I'm the Fibre Queen!

[@AmyBeintner]

Hi Mairlyn !! Going to attempt to make jam this weekend BUT where or where do I find the Bernardin Freezer Jam Pectin and those amazing Bernardin containers? (would love to #shoplocal but have had no luck) #Bernardin #ThatsMyJam

#thatsmyjam I'd love to be able to attend a course that teaches canning and preserving. Does anyone know of any offered in the Vaughan area?

[@MyLeftFryingPan]

Cathy Holyoke I don't know, but I can ask a Bernardin if they know.
