Nice "refresher" video. A few months back a friend had me over to participate/learn how to make freezer jam. We picked berries and then made freezer jam in her kitchen. It was EXACTLY (I mean exactly) like your tutorial. I had taken notes but to see it again is so helpful! Thank you.

I've been making the jam for years and years, it's the only jam I make. I figure your only using a teaspoon or so on your jam or peanutbutter sandwich as far as sugar goes. I also add it to my homemade yogurt just enough to sweeten it, and it's delicious!

[@frugalfamilyhome]

Yes we only use a very small amount of jam. But you are right it is so good in homemade yogurt.

Good video. Thanks!

I’m going to try this...thanks

[@frugalfamilyhome]

Hope you enjoy it.

So my gritty jelly didn't set but I was resolved to get it right. I tossed the old jelly and made a new batch today. I can't be sure yet but I'm 80% sure my problem was that I didn't do the pectin part right. I'm pretty sure the new batch that's on my counter now will be wonderful! Totally excited to pair my jelly to my homemade nut butters. 😁

[@frugalfamilyhome]

Oh I'm so glad your second batch turned out for you. Yay!

[@gabrielbenoit8427]

It worked

[@frugalfamilyhome]

So glad to hear that, yeah!

[@taurusnbr1]

Would the recipe still work if I used less sugar? What's the minimum one needs for it to jell up like jam?

[@frugalfamilyhome]

You can reduce the sugar but you'll need to use the low sugar pectin to make sure it turns out. I hope that helps.

Frugal Family Home thank you

Maybe Im missing something.....I just wanted directions for raspberry freezer jam. Ive made it for years and really didnt want this video and just needed to know how much water to dilute the pectin. Sure wish the receipe was still in the box!

[@pheobebuffay]

Two questions: 1) Do you think this would work with frozen raspberries? 2) How long does this keep for when out of the freezer?

[@frugalfamilyhome]

Phoebe, yes this will work with frozen raspberries. I've made it with thawed frozen raspberries before. We use our freezer jam up in about 3 weeks so it keeps that long once thawed in the refrigerator. I hope that helps.

[@pheobebuffay]

@@frugalfamilyhome thanks for your reply! That totally helps. Can't wait to try this!

[@profile1251]

can you allow the pectin to cool to keep it fully raw?

[@pollypadgett5774]

My jelly is still gritty, what did I do wrong?

[@frugalfamilyhome]

Oh no, it sounds like the sugar didn't quite get dissolved. After adding the pectin, you need to stir for about 3 minutes. I usually set a timer and then feel the back of the spoon to make sure I don't feel any sugar. I hope that helps.

[@chickenfeet1262]

I wouldn't recommend adding that much sugar
